- **Git fork**: A real Git hosting term for a copy of a repository under another account or organization, usually used to propose changes back upstream.
109
+
- **Clone**: A real Git term for a local copy of a repository; Forkara strongly respects the difference while making jokes about it anyway.
110
+
- **Dinner fork**: A parody fork used for moving food from plate to mouth, with no known pull request workflow.
111
+
- **Tuning fork**: A parody fork that produces a pitch when struck, useful for finding the right note and not for resolving merge conflicts.
112
+
- **Pitchfork**: A parody fork for hay, mobs, and dramatic project governance discussions.
113
+
- **Spork**: A parody hybrid fork-spoon that Forkara lists on the roadmap because some forks refuse to pick one abstraction.
114
+
- **Chess fork**: A real chess tactic where one piece attacks multiple targets;in Forkara terms, it is the board-game cousin of parallel worktrees.
115
+
- **Process fork**: A real operating-system term for creating a new process from an existing one, which is much closer to copying than cutlery.
