newfork.sh - github does not support forking your own projects or forking a project more than once with the same account. But you can still create any number of forks easily with this bash script This is practically an automation of the solution suggested as a top answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10963878/how-do-you-fork-your-own-project-on-github
usage:
### first create via the web ui of github the something/newfork repository as an empty one, then:
cd path/to/my_dev_projects_folder/
git clone git@github.com:dszakal/newfork.git
chmod +x ./newfork/newfork.sh
./newfork/newfork.sh git@github.com/something/projecttofork.git git@github.com/something/newfork.gitOnly ssh git@github.com urls are supported, no https
Optional maintenance - merging back from upstream master (the one you forked from) to origin master (your project after fork):
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git push
