While developers use both Git Fork and Git Clone to create copies of a repository, these different strategies result in drastically different levels of access, isolation and control over the target repo. TechTarget's Cameron McKenzie, editor in chief, explains how developers use both, and when you should perform each of these Git repo copy strategies.

Yeah, and what's weird is the fork is a very commonly misunderstood concept. Glad this video could help you out.

@isaacdavis7407 2 года назад

If you update your Cameron side code, is there a way to have it updated in the forked version? I want to make a repo people can clone that is just a subset of my main repo, but that also stays up to date.

@ashrafulbari561 9 месяцев назад

I think that is where you create the PullRequest. You update the code from the Cameron side after you forked the code , create a pull request which will notify Cameron. Cameron looks at the code and Merge the request. Correct me if I am wrong! Thanks

@MGKday 2 года назад

This is exactly the summary I was looking for. Thank you. I think only one thing missing: can the fork from jheguevara take/accept future changes done on the original repo from cameronmcnz ? that would allow the fork to stay updated while allowing me to have my own changes ?

@AbnerG787 Год назад

what happens to the fork if the main repo is updated? do you need to pull from the main repo to the fork to keep the fork updated?

@AndromedaSir Год назад

thank you, but what is the difference between cloning the fork with the https or the ssh link? is it just more simpler with the https?

@arnold5621 Год назад

@EyeonTech Год назад

@doointhedoo Год назад

so if logic is serving me correctly, I can fork an external repository to my repo, then my team members can git clone the forked repo I created and make updates to it correct?

@test-rj2vl Год назад

Do forks appear in google search? and if not can I force it to appear if I am the one who is forking? I looked at 1 project with many forks and google seems to be completely silent on them.

@justsomeguywhoneverdies9210 Год назад

thank you, this is what i've been looking for. i googled this and it just says "A fork creates a completely independent copy" or "you have full access something something", like what does that really mean. i also have full access of the clone and make it my independent project too. it should just say *fork allow you to make a pull request (contribute) to the original repository if you are not a member of the original*

@ENT_PRESTIGIOUS 2 года назад

instead of using fork, couldn't one just clone another's repo and create your own repo and change the origin to the newly created repo? Is the fork a more efficient version of this?

@flesz_ Год назад

I think when you fork it the origin changes to your own repo. I did the same initially, cloned the repo and changed origin to my own, but I think that was unnecessary hassle
