Answer / Amit Kumar Gill

Git Fork is a way to copy a repository from one user to another within GitHub. It creates an independent copy of the original repository that the forking user can freely modify.nBranch and Clone are terms related to Git itself.n- Cloning copies an existing remote repository onto your local machine, allowing you to work on it as if it were originally on your machine.n- Branching is a way to create a separate line of development within a single repository. This allows you to make changes without affecting the main codebase until you are ready to merge those changes back in.
