Github Find Active Forks

Overview

This is a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey user script that helps users find the most active forks of a GitHub repository. It enhances the GitHub experience by displaying forks with relevant details like stars, forks, open issues, size, and last modification date.

Features

• ✅ Fetches active forks of any GitHub repository.
• ✅ Displays information in a sortable table.
• ✅ Uses the latest secure versions of jQuery, Bootstrap, Moment.js, and FooTable.
• ✅ No external CSS dependencies (removed Pastebin dependency for security).
• ✅ Utilizes GitHub API securely via fetch() instead of GM_xmlhttpRequest.
• ✅ Works with GitHub’s Turbo navigation.
