Fork

From Linux Gamer Guide - StrangeGamer.com

Jump to: navigation, search
In software engineering, a project fork or branch happens when a developer (or a group of them) takes a copy of source code from one software package and starts to independently develop a new package. The term is also used more loosely to represent a similar branching of any work, particularly with free or open source software.
