Description

when someone 'save as gist' on another users existing sketch, we save it as a fork of the gist on github.

we should surface these forks and show them in the UI somehow

example:

original: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/cc20dd615f6b703cd9aa
forks: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/cc20dd615f6b703cd9aa/forks
fork 1: http://requirebin.com/?gist=c4543485816a5d1b0a46
fork 2: http://requirebin.com/?gist=5a03c74f7b640a9d504d

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing “save as gist” flow and how gist URLs are loaded into the UI. Use the linked original gist and its forks as examples; done means forks of a saved gist are surfaced in the interface in a defined, usable way.
