While developers use both Git Fork and Git Clone to create copies of a repository, these different strategies result in drastically different levels of access, isolation and control over the target repo. TechTarget's Cameron McKenzie, editor in chief, explains how developers use both, and when you should perform each of these Git repo copy strategies.

If you update your Cameron side code, is there a way to have it updated in the forked version? I want to make a repo people can clone that is just a subset of my main repo, but that also stays up to date.
@ashrafulbari561
@ashrafulbari561 8 ай бұрын
I think that is where you create the PullRequest. You update the code from the Cameron side after you forked the code , create a pull request which will notify Cameron. Cameron looks at the code and Merge the request. Correct me if I am wrong! Thanks

thank you, this is what i've been looking for. i googled this and it just says "A fork creates a completely independent copy" or "you have full access something something", like what does that really mean. i also have full access of the clone and make it my independent project too. it should just say *fork allow you to make a pull request (contribute) to the original repository if you are not a member of the original*
