What?

Saw a tweet:

But why?

If you have ever needed to debug a node module you're using in your project it's a no brainer. If you find a bug in someone's project you might want to fix it and made a fork of it so you can then open a pull request.

Getting Started

First, you need an access token from github so forked can log in. You can find instructions for that here

Make sure to give your token public repo privileges.

Then add it to your .bashrc file, or whatever you use to manage your env variables:

export FORKED_TOKEN='PUT_YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE'

Then install the module:

$ npm i -g forked

Dive into some random node module:

$ cd node_modules/react

Run the command:

$ fork

If it worked, you should be able to see the fork on GitHub. If you find a bug please document it in the issues :)
