I prefer let curl ask for my password instead of passing it in the option.

Understandable. Although one is already being asked for the MFA code. Does that make sense to be asked for the MFA code before the password?

I think the order is not critical. Just because let curl ask for your password is simpler.

There are various causes that should be responsible for the failure of git clone.
Fortunately, the error message from git clone is clear enough.
Better shorten the message and remove our guess.

The issue I see there is that git clone is very verbose and just adds a lot of cruf to the terminal that does not need to be there (see below). Although I just realized that I should be sending stderr to /dev/null to avoid the excess cruf.
Since the fork is asynchronous there is no way to determine when the fork is complete other than trying it. If I execute the fork command against github.com, the repo exists by the time that the clone is attempted. But if I try the fork command against the internal Github Enterprise instance, I end up waiting at least once for the fork to complete. (probably the fast LAN vs 200 ms across the net).
The more that I think about it, the attempt to clone should probably only be attempted for about a minute or so. After that point the command should exit with an error code and a message that the repo could not be cloned locally.

Maybe we could check if $project exists before cloning into it?

Git clone will not allow one to clone over an already existing repo directory.

Ah ha, this idea is inspired by your -d $project check.
If there is $project already, we can directly exit the script, skip git clone, cd, and so on.

Added better detection when the fork fails (which is really a comms error with talking to Github). If directory already exists, clone will silently fail and the upstream references will be created. If they already exist, then a warning message is printed that it exists. |

I agree that the output of git clone is cumbersome, but still think we should not hide the error message. They are like low level log, which may be useful sometimes.

Better to use total_wait=$((total_wait + timeout[0])), which is more modern.

I thought about that, but some of the older shells don't understand the double parenthesis. So I opted for the more traditional form.

Actually, it will wait for 64(44 plus the last 20) seconds.

IMHO, I prefer to use git config ${3+--$3} git-extras.$1 $2 directly.
When writing shell script, people are more relied on $? that the return value to check if the previous command succeeded.

Added support for forking on instances of Github other than github.com.
In addition added ability to pull stored settings from git config so that one is not prompted each time for things like username and such.
Also introduced a self documenting way of including helper scripts into the generated scripts. See the Makefile and helper/config-value for details. Also helps keeping one from forgetting to update the needs_* files.
