These scripts might change at any time. Sites break, I fix (or break) things, and sometimes I add new features if I feel like it (especially for sites I use a lot). I make these for myself first, but if they help you, awesome.
I test everything, but there are no promises here except that I'm not shipping malware. (Still, check the code yourself!) I make these for myself, but I hope they help you too. If something breaks or you have an idea, open an issue and I'll see what I can do.
Adds an Import/Private Fork button on GitHub repository pages and pre-fills the import form for you. It also sets visibility to private by default, so cloning into a private repo takes way fewer clicks.
- Adds an
Import/Private Forkbutton right in the repo action bar - Sends you to GitHub's import page with the source repo URL pre-filled
- Auto-fills the destination repository name
- Auto-selects private visibility when possible
Because "fork this repo privately" should not feel like a mini quest line.
Private imports can be genuinely useful when you want to:
- Freeze a public repo you use in place so upstream changes don't suddenly break your setup.
- Backup emulator source code before Nintendo comes in and takes it all.
- Keep a clean recovery snapshot before a risky upgrade/migration so you can roll back fast if it all goes sideways.
If GitHub changes the UI and this breaks, open an issue and I'll patch it.
