Forking is the process of creating a copy of a repository on Github from a different source. Cloning is the process of downloading a copy of the code that exists in a specific web address.
Running git status can will tell you what files you have modified. The results look something like this:
/git_and_gh_practice[master !]$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: travels.txt
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
git_and_gh_practice[master !]$
