Cloning Forks Script Guide (mainly for grading purposes)

The only edits that needs to be made to make it easier depending on the git assignment:

• In the clone_forks.sh file, change the GITHUB_USER and REPO_NAME based on the repo where all the forks need to be cloned from.
• There can be edits within the loop as well, such as line 32 (which only saves the git log of a cloned repo).
• The task completion message can also be modified.
