Description

Sometimes you fork, you start working and the PR has not been created yet. In that case, the fork states N commits ahead of.

It would be nice to tell apart forks with that commited new code and show it in the UI.

Research direction

Start by tracing the UI that lists or displays GitHub forks and identify where fork status is obtained. Check how GitHub reports a fork as commits ahead of its origin, then show that state in the UI and verify that forks with uncreated PRs are distinguished from unchanged forks.
