I don't know the author or Eric, but I'm speculating they are hobby game devs using Unity and GitHub and they're not very experienced with Git.
It may be that Eric wants the projects in separate folders without using `git checkout` to switch between them.
But you can do that more easily by cloning the repo within your own system.
- onetom 4y agoBoth the author and Eric Evans are extremely experienced programmers. Forking is to be understood conceptually, not as a terminology of any specific version control system. As in a git branch represents a fork in the time-line of the evolution of a code-base. It just happens to be that fork also means something more specific in case of the GitHub/GitLab online services.
