# How to fork a project
|
|
|
|
A fork is a copy of an original repository that you put in another namespace
|
|
where you can experiment and apply changes that you can later decide whether or
|
|
not to share, without affecting the original project.
|
|
|
|
It takes just a few steps to [fork a project in GitLab](../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md#creating-a-fork).
