clone_and_add_forks

Clone a GitHub fork as origin, add upstream, and add all other forks as remotes. This essentially mirrors the entire "Network Graph" locally.

Features

Clone your fork of a repository as the origin remote.
Add the original repository as the upstream remote.
Automatically add all forks of the original repository as remotes, named as the fork owner's username.

Usage

python clone_and_add_forks.py <repo_url> <username>
