What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

  • Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

  • Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

  • Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

To be fair ChatGPT didn't exist 12 years ago.
