## Definitions

### `dev.knotless.forkRepo`

**Type**: `procedure`

Copies a repository, every branch and tag, into a new dev.knotless.repo in the account logged in to this appview's web pages, naming it as forked from the first, as `knotless fork` does. Requires the session cookie the pages' login sets: the appview writes with the session it keeps for that account.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | No | The fork's name: the repository's own when absent. |
| `repo` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | The repository to fork: its dev.knotless.repo record, as dev.knotless.getRepo takes it. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

#### Errors

- **NotFound**: No such repository.
- **InvalidRequest**: The account owns the repository, has a repository by that name already, or the name is not one a repository can have.
- **AuthenticationRequired**: No account is logged in to the pages, or its session has ended.
