This is a bookmarklet that adds a fully functional Fork button to your own Gist.
If a Fork button is already present in the page, this bookmarklet will set focus to it instead of adding another one.
The change is temporary and the button will disappear as soon as you navigate away from that Gist (clicking the Fork button does this for you as well).

This no longer works because the fork link has been replaced with a form that includes a authenticity_token field. I don't think there is any way around that from the browser.
I now use https://github.com/defunkt/gist from the CLI to:
credential-helper)original_url="git@gist.github.com:7085254.git"url="$(date | gist -f temp)"git clone $url; cd $(basename $url)git remote add alt $original_url; git fetch altgit reset --hard alt/mastergit push -f origin masterNote: the # are in there so you can copy-pasta the whole block into the terminal 😉
To get a “Fork” button with the right fork-count, change
.minibuttonto.btn-sm, and.counterto.Counter. However, this does not solve the problem with theauthenticity_token.
