## Problem to solve When a team uses a forking workflow, I want to perform automation whenever a new fork is created, but it's impossible for me know when a fork has been created unless I poll the [project forks API](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/projects.html#list-forks-of-a-project) or use a system hook for project creation. I want a simple web hook I can subscribe to. ## Further details ## Proposal Add a web hook that emits an event whenever a new fork is created ## Permissions and Security The permissions implications would be simplified by https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/8935 since the owners/maintainers of the upstream project would inherit access to private forks, and thereby the fork even wouldn't be leaking any information. ## What does success look like, and how can we measure that? Number of projects with fork even web hooks. ## Links / references https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/#forkevent
