The difference between git clone and fork

1. Differences

Git clone is a direct knock command on your computer (here I am Ubuntu), and the result is that the project in GitHub repository is cloned to your local computer.

Fork is a direct access to the GitHub site, click Fork on the project page, and then one more copy of the project on your own GitHub project

2. Usage

If we want to modify someone else's GitHub project, we can't pull the git clone code locally, so we'll use fork to copy the code to our GitHub repository, then git clone to local modification, Then when submitting pull (here pull is pulling to your github repository, the code in our own GitHub repository is a branch of the fork source), and when we want to submit the modified code to others, When someone sees it, they can merge the code.
