What are the differences between the git fork command and the git pull command in repository workflows?

The git fork command is not a standard Git command, but usually refers to the process of creating a copy of a repository on a remote service (such as GitHub) for independent work.

In contrast, git pull is a Git command used to download changes from a remote repository and automatically merge them with the current branch of the local repository.

In other words:

• Fork — creating your own copy of someone else's repository for independent work.
• Pull — updating the local repository with the latest changes from the remote.

Example of using git pull:

git pull origin main

This will fetch and merge changes from the main branch of the remote repository origin into the current local branch.
