I was sad to hear the news of the death of Ronnie Corbett. I've always been a huge fan of The Two Ronnies and much of the other work the duo had done both together and individually.
Within moments of the news breaking, tributes such as photographs of four candles and fork handles, and links to the clip on YouTube. As soon as I saw these tributes I thought of the phrase fork handles taking another alternative meaning: forking a project called handles on GitHub. So I created the repo, and encouraged others to fork it:
In tribute to Ronnie Corbett, I've made a new @github repository. You can fork handles: https://t.co/GgH2ZpGCLy
