#!/bin/bash

# Tool for forking a GitHub repository to another GitHub org,
# by creating the repo on GitHub and Gerrit, and pushing
# the source repo to Gerrit.
# The name of the repository can be changed before forking,
# and if the regular branch isn't found, you can choose
# in the list of available branches.
# Usage: ./fork.sh
