What is forking in Git?

Question

Can anyone explain the forking in Git?

Answer 1

Forking in Git is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to easily play with code and making changes without affecting the original project.

In general, forks are used to propose any changes to someone else's project and also to use someone else's project as a starting point for your own project rather than starting from scratch.
