Comment 14 for bug 408097

I'm surprised to see this started nearly 4 years ago!
Launchpad *needs* this.

I am starting to learn that bzr is very similar to git, and a simple "Fork" button would really go a long way in getting more people contributing code. GitHub has blown up like crazy and many people started using it because it exposes the common functions of git in a way that is obvious to newcomers, and this would make people coming to Launchpad from git a whole lot less intimidated by how different/more complicated Launchpad seems at first

The documentation (as well as the layout of Launchpad itself) is overly complex and easy to get lost in, it has taken me months to realize I can fork a bzr repo and commit my own changes and build packages of my fork *easily* , but I really had to dig to figure that out! I know it's in the docs, but it is not very punctuated

Please add a fork button!
