The Repo Less Forked
# The Repo Less Forked- A tribute to Git and Hub
Two forks diverged in an open repo,
And sorry I could not commit both
And be one follower, long I stood
And watched one as far as I could
To where it diverged in the fork;
Then forked the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was opened and wanted help,
And pulls needing to be pushed!
In trees no branches had trodden black.
Oh, I merged the first for another day!
Yet knowing how branches leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever merge back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere commits and commits hence:
Two forks diverged in a repo, and I,
I cloned the one less followed,
And that has made all the difference.
