Ah… Does anybody use it that way???
I end up using different computers here and there, so a local copy of the forked repo would be a pest. For changing just a couple of files, I copy them manually from the "raw" github view, edit in Notepad++ (saving them in my DropBox) and paste them back into the GitHub online editor when done.
I suppose I could put the local copy of the fork into DropBox and edit there - that would let me use it from multiple computers. I hadn't thought of doing that.
Hmmm - rather drifted off the topic of this thread - sorry.
