@RichardBronosky did you ever figure out what specifically makes a fork be indicated in the gist web interface?

Thank you. I've already been cloning my gists using Sourcetree and actually I've been using local repo to manipulate / clean the gist history.
Anyway, forking own repo does not seem to be supported at all:
"message": "You cannot fork your own gist."
