This GitHub action can be put inside a blank private repository and then that private repo can be forked to create a private fork. It's stupid, but it works.

I tested to confirm this works in https://github.com/FRCTeam1987/3061-lib minus the actual fork, special permissions nor any other administrative actions are required. All it needs is a blank repo and a personal access token that has write access to the repo.

The 3061-lib repo can be safely deleted to undo all changes
