Since `git fork` sets the `sync.remote` in `.git/config` (local for the repository) a user now only has to write to fork an upstream repository, sync the branches and update their local copy:

I think the fork remote name should be a CLI option as well, maybe in the gitconfig as well (e.g. I have named it `fork` for some of my local repos)
