+# Explain the differences among github fork, git clone, and git branch
+
+Github fork, git clone and branch are all used for different situations.  Github fork
+is when you want to take a project's repository that someone else maintains, and spin
+it off to be your own. This gives you full write access - something you did not
+neccessarily have before. Git clone simply copies a repository to your computer,
+which is the heart of git -- file revision management.  Git branch allows repository
+maintainers to take a project "off to the sides", if you will.  The master branch is
+where a project might always be stable, and a branch test allows the maintainers to
+test new features whilst collaborating with other users.  Branches can then be merged
+back to master once all bugs have been worked out.
