Github fork +is when you want to take a project's repository that someone else maintains, and spin +it off to be your own. This gives you full write access - something you did not +neccessarily have before. Git clone simply copies a repository to your computer, +which is the heart of git -- file revision management. Git branch allows repository +maintainers to take a project "off to the sides", if you will. The master branch is +where a project might always be stable, and a branch test allows the maintainers to +test new features whilst collaborating with other users. Branches can then be merged +back to master once all bugs have been worked out. +
