Git Fork
A fork is your own copy of another person's repository, made on the hosting site (GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab). Forking is not a Git command: you click Fork on the site.
You can push to your fork freely, and send your changes back to the original project with a pull request.
Clone your fork and add the original as upstream
git clone https://github.com/your-username/hello-world.git
