Summary
The blog post outlines a personal solution created by the author to identify active GitHub forks for the SumatraPDF project using a script that interacts with the GitHub API. The script sorts and lists forks with changes not reflected in the upstream repository, making it easier for the author to track contributions and updates made by other developers. Instructions for downloading and running the script are also provided.
