Every single clone is a fork. I feel like you're missing the fundamental concept of git as a DVCS.

- howinteresting 3y agoThey clearly mean fork in the GitHub UI, not fork as in running git clone locally.
- cj 3y agoGitHub support disagrees: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35849 https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35849 Clone = copy of code that you can sync with the remote on GitHub Fork = copy of code that isn’t connected to the original remote. Of course, every fork involves a clone. But not every clone is a fork. I could be wrong, but “fork” isn’t really a concept native to Git. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_(software_development)
- hedora 3y agoForks in git are connected by the fact that they contain identical sha’s.
