What is forking?
The "fork" concept comes from GitHub's workflow and refers to the process of creating an exact copy of someone else's public repository. This copy remains linked to the original, allowing access to its history and content up until the point of the fork. Here you will learn how to fork repositories and what that implies.

BaseHub Templates, for example, utilize this feature to generate the template copy in your team.
