Description

It would be very nice if we could:

  1. List the forks of a given upstream
  2. Maybe allow syncing the list of forks with the list of local remotes?

One challenge I would see is to figure out which repository is the blessed one in the case one works with a fork of their own. But I personally love doing git fetch --all to pull the code of everyone I work with, and I would love it if there was a way for me to figure out which forks to add from the command line.

Contributor guide

Research direction
First, explore the existing git repo codebase (e.g., commands.py, service modules) to understand how remotes and services are currently managed. Then, investigate how to integrate with git service APIs (e.g., GitHub's list forks endpoint) to retrieve fork data. Consider design options for syncing local remotes with fork list, possibly by adding a new command. Review existing issues or PRs for related work.
