fork – ScraperWiki https://blog.scraperwiki.com Extract tables from PDFs and scrape the web Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:10:13 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6 58264007 See a scraper you like? Fork it! https://blog.scraperwiki.com/2011/03/see-a-scraper-you-like-fork-it/ Wed, 09 Mar 2011 11:05:30 +0000 http://blog.scraperwiki.com/?p=758214397 We’ve just pushed a new feature to let you “fork” scrapers and views.

That is, you can quickly and easily make a copy so you can make radical changes without interfering with the original, or to make customisations for your own use.

We’ve used a red pitchfork for the icon, because amongst computer programmers
forking used to be pretty controversial. These days with distributed version control systems, and instant web based collaboration, it is less so.

Right now it doesn’t fork your datastore – get in touch if that’s a problem for you, or if you’ve got any other feedback.
