🍴 GitHub Fork Visual Guide

Step 1: Fork the Repository

1. Navigate to: https://github.com/tanker327/prompts-mcp-server

2. Click the Fork button (top right):

   ⭐ Star  👁️ Watch  🍴 Fork
                         ^^^^^^ Click this
   

3. Fork dialog appears:

   • Owner: Select jezweb (your account)
   • Repository name: Keep as prompts-mcp-server
   • Description: Optional (can keep original)
   • ✅ Copy the main branch only
   • Click "Create fork"

4. Wait for fork creation (few seconds)

5. You'll be redirected to:

   • https://github.com/jezweb/prompts-mcp-server
   • This is YOUR fork!

Step 2: Verify Your Fork

Your fork should show:

jezweb/prompts-mcp-server
forked from tanker327/prompts-mcp-server

Step 3: Clone Your Fork (Optional)

If you want a separate clone of just the original:

# Create a separate directory
mkdir -p ~/claude/prompts/original-fork
cd ~/claude/prompts/original-fork

# Clone your fork
git clone https://github.com/jezweb/prompts-mcp-server.git
cd prompts-mcp-server

Step 4: What We'll Do Next

After you fork:

1. ✅ Run ./setup-fork.sh in your smart-prompts-mcp directory
2. ✅ This will set up all the git remotes and branches
3. ✅ Then we'll create the issue
4. ✅ And prepare your first PR!

📝 Important Notes

• Don't worry about mistakes - You can always delete and re-fork
• Your fork is independent - Changes won't affect the original until you PR
• Keep your fork updated - We'll sync with upstream regularly
• PRs go from your fork - Not from your smart-prompts-mcp repo

🎯 After Forking Checklist

• Fork shows in your GitHub account
• Fork shows "forked from tanker327/prompts-mcp-server"
• You can see the code in your fork
• Ready to run setup-fork.sh

Let me know when you've completed the fork!
