+Github fork is when a user takes a repository from another
+user and can modify files within it without changing
+up the original user's files. It makes a copy of it under
+a new user's account. 
+Git clone takes a repository from a server and copies it
+over to a local machine.
+Git branch allows for a group to work on seperate implementations
+without modifying the main branch's files. After implementations are
+finished, group members can then merge additional branches into the
+main branch (the master branch).
