I am teaching branching and forking in #git to researchers this afternoon.

Why is it called "forking"?

@HeidiSeibold Maybe because it’s more like forking a process? You’ve got an entirely new but identical process when you fork a process, forking a project feels a bit like that (but this is just what it feels like to me, hardly authoritative)
