It isnt clear what the gear icon beside each repo does, and for me it rotates forever on most of the repositories.

This tool is awesome for keeping an unmodified fork up to date, thanks for creating it

However if I've made some changes to an originally forked repo, then it doesn't seem to support that. I guess that is understandable as unresolved conflicts could arise

In my case, I often create a fork for the purpose of divergent development, make only a few changes, and then want to keep the rest of the base code in sync with the original author's repo as "automatically" as possible. This is conceptually in contrast to the fork being a temporary vessel for making changes for the sake of ultimately contributing any changes via a pull request to the original repo

Could it be made to support such scenarios, provided that there are no conflicts caused/detected by any customizations? Assuming that it detects conflicts, it could advise the user to deal with those manually. Perhaps later down the line, it could be expanded to deal with such conflicts via the Web UI as well?

I feel that would drastically increase practical usability of the tool and expand the scope of its possible use cases. Thoughts?

Works perfectly on personal repo's, but a research team I'm working with have created an organization page to store any tools that are created there, however they want them to be forked in and kept up to date rather than actually transferring the repository over to the organization, so I was hoping I could use this.

OAuth asked me to authenticate for the organization as well as my personal account so the application should have access to them but they're not listed?

Would be great if this was supported.

link doesnot render anything except few "sign in" links. Please fix this.

Sometimes it is useful to check what the new upstream commits are before doing a sync.

A link to the upstream would facilitate this. Or better a link to the commit-range-diff from fork..upstream ..

I had to manually sync the repos one by one with the button appeared on the right most side but instead want to do it all at once. Your "Sync selected" button is not able to do that. Please fix that. Also I am not able to understand why it cannot sync the certain repos as in attached screenshot. It shows a "!" mark on them.
