    You should make a pull request and fork them yourself if you care that deeply

    Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

    Repository: a collection of computer code for a software program (or app if you insist).

    Fork: a copy of a repository so you can edit it without affecting the original.

    Pull request: a request to the owner of a repo to bring in some changes you made in a fork.

    I think I even got the word count down.

    Fox News viewers would need the concept of "sharing" explained to them first.

    Sharing is a type of communism, of course.

    Get that damn code Communism out of my country! No more Forking or Cloning! No more importing libraries either! We're going to build a big beautiful firewall and export all the unsigned binaries. Make Assembly Great Again! And no terminating projects because apps begin at compilation.

    I'm surprised they didn't sneak in a swipe about open source being a socialist conspiracy to undermine American ingenuity.

    What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

    • Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

    • Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

    • Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

    Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.

    I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

    If these were answers for a high school test it would get a D or something for correctness. I can't believe an adult, a journalist no less, could be so off.

    At least they didn’t call it a suppository.

    “GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

    At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.

    Did they let a 6 year old write that up?

    THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.

    Or am I being trolled.
