# Forked Extensions (community tool)

This extension leverages the [Git sparse-checkout](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-sparse-checkout) feature to efficiently manage your forked extensions. Our goal is to eliminate the need for cloning the entire repository, which can exceed 20 GB in size, by enabling sparse-checkout. With this extension, you can forgo Ray CLI's commands, allowing you to use Git commands directly and regular [GitHub flow](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/using-github/github-flow) for managing your extensions.

## Features

* Explore full extension list
* Only fork the extension you need to save space
* Remove an extension from forked list
* Synchronize the forked repository with the upstream repository on local

## Install

The extension is available on the [Raycast Store](https://www.raycast.com/litomore/forked-extensions).

## Hint

Please note with this extension you no longer need to use Ray CLI's `pull-contributions` and `publish` commands. Just use Git commands or your favorite Git GUI tool to manage your forked extensions.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.raycast.com/information/developer-tools/forked-extensions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
