Laszlo,

The hub command line utility also shows an option to
create a fork without using the GitHub UI.  But since I
already have all the relevant forks I needed, I have not
tried this feature yet.

These GitHub commands are provided by hub:

   api            Low-level GitHub API request interface
   browse         Open a GitHub page in the default browser
   ci-status      Show the status of GitHub checks for a commit
   compare        Open a compare page on GitHub
   create         Create this repository on GitHub and add GitHub as origin
   delete         Delete a repository on GitHub
   fork           Make a fork of a remote repository on GitHub and add as remote
   issue          List or create GitHub issues
   pr             List or checkout GitHub pull requests
   pull-request   Open a pull request on GitHub
   release        List or create GitHub releases
   sync           Fetch git objects from upstream and update branches

Mike
