Quick & Dirty Forking

I’ve often come across a github hosted repo that was purely client side, but didn’t have a hosted demo. Maybe a simple JavaScript library, or a CSS effect, but no url that I could see it in action. I’m left with the decision do I clone the project locally and fire up my own server, [...]
