What are forks?

A fork is when something splits into two parts, just like a fork in the road or a real fork you use at dinner.

Imagine you and your friend are eating pancakes at breakfast. You both have the same plate of pancakes, right? Now, suppose you decide to try adding chocolate syrup to yours, but your friend wants to keep it plain. That’s like a fork, you’re still using the same original pile of pancakes, but now you’ve made a different choice.

Sometimes, when people are working on something together, like writing a story or building a game, they might want to make changes that aren’t part of the main version. That’s when a fork happens. It's like taking your own copy of the story or game and changing it just for yourself.

So now you have two versions: one is the original, and the other is your new version with chocolate syrup (or whatever change you made). You can still go back to the original anytime, or even share your changes with others later.
