 We've all heard of files and links, and if you've ever used Github, then you might have also heard of Forks as well. So what does it mean? Forking a project creates a copy of that project in your dashboard. You can then change that copy for your own purposes without changing the original project. When you create a fork, it's like creating a project, you'll be the only contributor until you add more. Forking automatically creates a reference to the original project as a functional citation. Over time, the network of Forks can trace the evolution of project's materials. To fork a project, visit the project in question and click the duplicate button at the top right of the page. This will give you several options on how you can duplicate a project. Click fork and a fork will be created. You can also easily turn a project that you've linked into a fork so that you can make edits to that project. Just find the linked projects in your component section and click on the fork icon.
