+# How to fork a project
+
+A fork is a copy of an original repository that you can put somewhere else
+or where you can experiment and apply changes that you can later decide if
+publishing or not, without affecting your original project.
+
+It takes just a few steps to fork a project in GitLab.
+
+Sign in to GitLab.
+
+Select a project on the right side of your screen:
