-allow forks

-allow only private forks

-no forks

These three options are only available for private repos.

  • Allow forks means it both support public forks (the fork version can be seen publicly) and private forks (the fork version can only seen by the person who forked it).

  • Allow only private forks means it allow private-only forks.

  • No forks means you repo don't allow any fork.

And fundamentally, to fork a project (take the source from someone's repository at certain point in time, and apply your own diverging changes to it), you would clone the remote repository to create a copy of it, then do your own work in your local repository and commit changes.
