Find forks for a GitHub repository

In a recent episode of Brent Ozar’s Office Hours, someone asked if there are any interesting forks of the First Responder Kit, on GitHub.

So I thought it would be useful to have a way to quickly check for forks and see when they were updated.
I came up with the following PowerShell function which does exactly that.

I hope someone will find it useful.
Enjoy!
