only needed when cloned repos should also automatically be forked.
This workflow requires Alfred 5.5.

In my day job, I am a sociologist studying the social mechanisms underlying the digital economy. For my PhD project, I investigate the governance of the app economy and how software ecosystems manage the tension between innovation and compatibility.
