What is a fork and how do I fork a repository on GitHub?

A fork is a copy of a repository on GitHub that you can use to make changes to the code without affecting the original repository. When you fork a repository, you create a new repository on your GitHub account that is linked to the original repository.

To fork a repository on GitHub, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the repository you want to fork on GitHub.
  2. Click on the "Fork" button in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Choose the account or organization where you want to fork the repository to.
  4. Wait for GitHub to create the forked repository on your account.
