What does Fork, Watch, and Star on GitHub mean ?, Githubfork

Fork means copying a copy from another person's code base to your own code base. Unlike normal copying, fork contains all the submission records in the original library,

After fork, this code library is completely independent and belongs to you. You can make any modifications in your own database. Of course, you can also submit a merge Request to the original database through the Pull Request.

 

By the way, Watch and Star:

• Watch, which means you will receive notifications when there is a new commit in the code library;

• Unlike watch, Star is similar to favorites. You can easily find your star library, but you will not receive any notifications about that library.
