What is "Forks"?
Forks metric represents the number of copies of a GitHub repository created by other users or organizations, allowing them to freely experiment, make changes, and propose improvements to the original content. Essentially, creating a fork is duplicating a repository under a new URL, enabling a contributor to develop and submit changes via pull requests. The number of forks a repository has can indicate its popularity, the strength of its community, and possibly its potential for future contributions.
Example: Example: A software developer forks a repository to contribute a new feature, making changes and submitting a pull request for review. The forks metric shows how many developers have made their own copies of the repository for similar purposes.
