Feature Request: Add `Fork` button to each repository

See original GitHub issue

I find it inconvenient (and easy to forget) to find the Fork this repository button hidden behind the + sidebar menu:

Could the extension add a Fork button on the main page of each repository? Perhaps next to the Clone button:

I looked into the bitbucket code and had a chat with @reyronald , as bitbucket is using CSS-in-js (styled-components), it would be very un-maintainable to place the fork button on top. As I would be referencing an element using clase name cause I don’t see any other unique attributes to reference, I would break whenever bitbucket is publishing new version of their frontend. I thought of using display: fixed then placing the button but it will break too if device size changes.

Anyone has any workaround or better idea.

I have made API for checking for source pages and other small things but placing the button is quite difficult in this case
