Thanks for this amazing resource! I have now used it to get a bunch of team members started on Git and that is vastly improving my life!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add another common remote setup for the situation where you are forking a repository to use it as a template.

So I think the goal would be to go from "fork of theirs" to "fork salvageable" since using usethis for the fork and clone part is so easy. I can figure out how to change the upstream remote to origin but I think it would be a nice addition to explain this use of forking.

Another part I am not sure of and will probably just cross when I get to it is what to do if there are changes in the template repo that I later want in my repo. Probably this will always be a bit messy but I would appreciate any advice.
