How does the Forking workflow model differ from the Feature Branch workflow?

  • Both workflows involve separate branches, but in Forking, contributors clone the repository independently, while in Feature Branch, contributors create branches within the main repository.
  • Forking creates a separate copy of the entire repository for each contributor, whereas Feature Branch allows contributors to work in their branches within the main repository.
  • Forking requires merging pull requests to the upstream repository, while Feature Branch involves merging directly into the main branch.
  • Feature Branch workflow allows more flexibility for individual contributors, while Forking workflow is more centralized.
The Forking model involves contributors creating a copy (fork) of the repository, making changes, and then issuing pull requests to merge changes back. Feature Branch involves creating branches within the main repository for each feature or bug fix.
