Git Fork Clone

This automates the standard fork and clone workflow for contributing to GitHub projects. It forks a repo to your account, clones it locally, and sets up two remotes: origin pointing to your fork and official (not upstream) pointing to the original repo. The workflow is opinionated about the remote naming convention, which is slightly non-standard but consistently applied. Saves you from manually running four or five commands every time you want to work on someone else's project. Uses GitHub CLI under the hood, so you'll need gh authenticated. If you fork repos regularly, this eliminates the repetitive setup.
