Forks let you experiment or contribute without write access to the original repo. You push changes to your fork, then open a pull request back to the upstream project.

In practice
Use it when you are installing, editing, testing, reviewing, or shipping code. In practice, define the owner, input, output, and failure mode before you rely on it.
