- kiallmacinnes 8y agoGitHub forks aren't contribution, they are just github forks. People fork without any intention to contribute all the time. Both stars and github forks are the same for me. A tiny metric used to indicate how interesting a project is to the general masses. This is useful data, it's just not all that important.
