1 github fork: This creates a copy of a repository with all of its filesi, into another github account. Generally this is for building off the original files without manipulating the orignal source materials.
2 git clone: This creates copy of a remote repository into a local machine.
3 git branchs: This copies a portion of a repository which allows for individuals to work on it and can merge it back with a master branch.

Task 1, part 2

Commit the result (the narrative explaining the differences) in the test repo under your UTK netid.md

A fork creates a new repo that's a copy of the repo you're forking. Your changes don't affect the original repo. However, they are linked so you can commit your changes back to the original with a pull request.

A clone is a completely new repo that's a copy of the original repo. They aren't linked in any way.

A branch allows you to work on certain features individually and will be merged with the "master" branch to keep all the changes to the "master" in one place.

Forking copies the repository as an independent copy, which remains if the original is deleted.

Branching opens a new branch of the repository under a new name, which has its own unique changes.

Cloning copies the remote repository onto the local machine.

A github fork creates a copy of a repository. It creates a link between the original repository and your personal one. A git clone is a command-line tool that copies the repository to your machine. The difference between a clone and fork is that with a fork, the repository remains on the website for github (in your account) while the clone command copies it directly to your machine. A git branch is a new line of development within a project. It can be thought of as a new directory or workspace. It also serves as a timeline to see when changes were made. It is different from a git clone and repo in the sense that it is not the entire project, it could be a subsection of it or new addition.
