What is a "fork" vs. a "clone" on a platform like GitHub?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.

A
Correct Answer
A fork is a server-side copy of a repository created under your own account on the hosting platform, while a clone is a local copy of any repository (forked or not) downloaded to your machine — you typically fork first, then clone your fork
Explanation
Forking is a platform feature (not a core Git command) that creates an independent, server-hosted copy you control, useful for contributing to projects you don't have write access to.
