I've just found this plugin, and when initially setup I wasn't entirely sure what the 'fork' button would do. It's clear that it clones the repository and optionally updates the repository.

This behaviour, while correct for the plugin, does not follow GitHub wording, where fork creates a new repository based on another.

I agree with the above comment. It is hard to understand what is going on in this tool. This could be a great plugin if the usability issue is addressed. I forked the https://github.com/acoomans/xcode-snippets.git repo manually using github first to produce https://github.com/elprl/xcode-snippets.git . I think entered my fork into the Remote Repository field (and didn't hit 'fork' button). I was assuming all pushes would then go to my own fork, is that not correct?

So how do I get my iMac and macbook to sync against the same repo?

Totally agree, it's so confusing!

I'm also confused by the Update snippets option, is it pull or push, or both?
