What is git? What is version control?
Ans: what git does is creates a systematic method of tracking and identifying changes.
What github does, it creates a remote repository.
Markdown: A markup language, more feasible to write ordinary stuff. What you can do with github: eg. Github pages
Forked from means: The last version before the current version? An ontology of versioning.
You’re creating a personal copy of it on your github user account.
Allowing collaboration to be demonstrated!
When you look at the commit history you can see who has been editing it.
A fork represents a specific community of collaborators.
What is a branch: a Part of a repository, a version that is connected to the main version, but can have its own version history.
E.g. github early novels digital collection.
