Forking a repository on GitHub is a way to create a personal copy of someone else’s repository so you can freely make changes without affecting the original project. Here's how to fork a repository:
- Find the repository you want to fork by using the search bar or browsing through GitHub and click on it.
- On the repository's main page, click the 'Fork' button at the top right corner of the page.
- After clicking, it will create a copy of the repository under your GitHub account. Click 'Create fork' to confirm.
- GitHub will take a few moments to fork the repository.
- Once completed, you’ll be redirected to your copy of the repository, which will be located at your Github account.
