Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
The plugin inserts a button next to the "Fork" button when you visit a GitHub repository. Clicking on it will open a new tab which will use the online tool to scan the forks.
This tool aims at increasing the discoverability of useful forks of open-source projects.
The criteria is simple: if a fork was created, but never received any other activity on its main branch, it is filtered out.
For sharing: the results can be exported as CSV, or you can point people to the quick-link URL.

This should be built into GitHub! Thanks for making this
Works. Has already saved me a lot of time and trouble. I either can't use Github's build-in search - or it's not really helpful if you want to find the actually maintained repository forks of a project.
Pros: * Open Source * Works as expected, no surprises * Fast * Easy to use Cons: * GitHub should already have this functionality built-in so someone doesn't have to build a chrome extension and website for them. I've been using Using Useful-Forks for over a year now. As an open-source contributor, software engineer and information security practitioner, I frequently find myself digging through active GitHub projects, GitHub public archives, project forks, forks of forks, or otherwise trying to trace the noodles in the spaghetti-like graph-network that often happens with open source software. I hope I never have to go back to the "old way". Useful Forks is by far the fastest, best, and easiest way to see the current "state of the world" for any GitHub Project and the entire graph of forks. It makes finding active forks a breeze. The ONLY possibly tricky part (if you aren't familiar with the process) is creating a GitHub Personal Access Token. The Personal Access Token doesn't even need any scopes, it just needs to *exist* so that you can use GitHub's API without being rate-limited as an anonymous user. If you ever need to find GitHub project forks, use Useful Forks. Instead of using GitHub's terribly designed and incomplete "Network graph" (example: https://github.com/github/gitignore/network ) or useless "Forks" tab ( https://github.com/useful-forks/useful-forks.github.io/forks ), Useful Forks crawls the graph **for you**, sorts the results, and displays the relevant projects in a clean, easy to read table. Once it's finished querying the API, you'll have a sorted list of each project fork showing: * Project Slug (owner/name) * Star Count * Fork Count * Ahead Commits * Behind Commits * Last Updated Date (YYYY-MM-DD) You can then use the client-side filter bar to further identify the best fork for your given criteria.
Best way to find active forks of GitHub repositories!
