Create a fork

Create a fork for the authenticated user. **Note**: Forking a Repository happens asynchronously. You may have to wait a short period of time before you can access the git objects. If this takes longer than 5 minutes, be sure to contact [GitHub Support](https://support.github.com/contact?tags=dotcom-rest-api).
