Fork someone else's GitHub repo and clone it locally, with automatic setup of the official remote.

Use this skill when the user requests to fork someone else's repo and clone it locally.

The user needs to provide the target repo in the format

owner/repo

.

Fork the Repo: Use

gh repo fork <owner/repo> --clone=false

to fork the repo to the

zc277584121

account.

Clone the Repo: Use
```
gh repo clone zc277584121/<repo>
```
to clone the forked repo locally.
Navigate to the Project Directory:
```
cd <repo>
```
.

Add Official Remote:

git remote add official https://github.com/<original-owner>/<repo>.git

to track the upstream repo.

Verify Remote Configuration:
```
git remote -v
```
to confirm that
```
origin
```
points to your fork and
```
official
```
points to the original repo.

If the fork already exists,
```
gh repo fork
```
will automatically skip the forking step.
Always use
```
official
```
as the upstream remote name (instead of
```
upstream
```
) to maintain consistency.
Report the remote configuration result to the user after cloning is completed.
