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).

You can get a little further by pasting the raw script of http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js into the developer tools. This gets past the $ is not defined issue. That allows a second "Star" button to appear which is misnamed but when you click it, might attempt to do the right thing. It tries to post to ./fork with, as previously noted, a critical-looking authenticity_token form field and gets back 422 Unprocessable Entity.
To get a “Fork” button with the right fork-count, change .minibutton to .btn-sm, and .counter to .Counter. However, this does not solve the problem with the authenticity_token.
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="[email protected]: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 😉
This is so great thanks very much for it.
I forked it and added some improvements.

Added details for how users can use it from Scratchpad as bookmarklets don't work and also made a Firefox addon out of it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghforkable/
