    Fork your own Gist

It used to be possible to fork your own gists via the browser using a little JS magic. This is no longer the case. As an alternative, you can use Chris Wanstrath's https://github.com/defunkt/gist cli tool to do the next best thing.
Usage

gist-fork git@gist.github.com:fcc543f7f1cfba404caf5ce276cc0951.git
