My gut feeling on this is that it might be automating a bit too much.
It seems that there are two nearly separate things going on,

1. Nuking and re-forking the github repo
2. Producing a clean Dreamhack account with a clone of this repo.

Part 2 is something that we should absolutely have an updated script for.
Part 1... I'm not sure that it isn't best just to ask the user to do this. They already know how to fork from the main DW repo, because they had to do that when they started. So it should be very straightfoward to delete their own repo and re-fork. We could even provide instructions... but my gut instinct is that automating that away adds a lot of complexity (need for OAuth and so on) without much gain, and also risks making it harder for people to learn / understand what is going on.

Just my 2p - I'm probably not quite the target audience :-)
