@esm Just like Discord ruined the word "server", GitHub ruined the word "fork".

@didek @esm Forking means having a schism in the project -- one group of people stays in the original codebase, another goes to work on a new *forked* codebase, and both codebases proceed to diverge. On GitHub, however, forking means creating a personal development branch, frequently meant to be merged back into the original codebase. Not a schism. |

Really? Can you explain what's the difference?
