## **Verification Process**
Users verify their GitHub repository fork through the following process:
Users must first connect their GitHub account to Snag if they haven't already done so.
Users navigate to the specified GitHub repository using the provided URL and

The system verifies that: - The repository has been forked by the user's

`https://github.com/owner/repository`.
