Description

when someone 'save as gist' on another users existing sketch, we save it as a fork of the gist on github.

we should surface these forks and show them in the UI somehow

example:

original: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/cc20dd615f6b703cd9aa forks: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/cc20dd615f6b703cd9aa/forks fork 1: http://requirebin.com/?gist=c4543485816a5d1b0a46 fork 2: http://requirebin.com/?gist=5a03c74f7b640a9d504d

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the current UI code to see where sketches are displayed and how to add a forks section. Look into GitHub API for fetching gist forks. Consider using a fork icon or list under the sketch.
