A pull-request to forked your reposotory obviously.
Go fork yourself.

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.
Repository: your code.
Fork: my code.
Pull request: u want my code?

Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?
Given historical evidence of my writing that is not a sure thing.

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.
This physically hurts me.
"forked" when you push broken code to prod at 5 on a Friday.
“CI” - “Come In” which is what your boss says when they ask for a meeting after you thought it was fine for that one line change to skip CI and it broke something
I'm convinced that's ment to get people riled up.
Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.
But then why use
Term: explanation
and directly below that
"Term"-- explanation
Oh my gods I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. It's so upsetting.

It doesn't matter. None of faux news viewers can read.
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.
Its a bit charitable to call fox news journalists.
At least they didn’t call it a suppository.
“GitHub just reached its 1 billionth suppository!!”

Issue: Form of insult common to this community
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.
