| Git Clone Task - redirect to private fork [message #1692707] |

Assume that I want to contribute to a GitHub project for which I have no write access. Typically, I will fork the repository, make the change, push it to my fork and create a pull request. Right?
If the project provides an Oomph setup, it will involve a GitCloneTask pointing to the original repository. Ideally, I want to reuse the original setup for my own fork without having to modify it.
I tried creating a redirect task (redirecting the original URL - which I have to find out beforehand - to the fork URL) in the User model prior to installing the project. This seemed to work, but I was wondering if this is the recommended way for dealing the the above scenario. Possibly, there are better solutions or built in features?

Alex,
Most of the setups I've authored, a list of clone choices are offered,
i.e., https, git, ssh versions, so in that field one could enter the
clone of a fork...

Why type anything if there is a drop-down box?
