What’s a fork, I know what GitHub is and use it too. Just don’t know what a fork is haha
It’s basically like a copy of the original repository. But you can pull in and merge changes from the original, make a pull request for the original to pull your changes. Fork+pull request enables you to contribute to someone else’s repository. Things like Chromium are in part forks of Safari, just that they diverged over time.
A fork in the road. When a developer takes an open source project and modifies it – thus creating their fork of the original software.
