  config.source  = "some-organization"
  config.destination = "another-organization"

Figure 1. Example configuration and use of RepoForker.

In order for RepoForker to make requests to the GitHub API to fork repositories, it must be configured with a GitHub API key, source user/organization, and a destination user/organization. After configuration is complete, prepare a list of repository names and tell RepoForker to fork the repositories. (see Figure 1)
