# 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.com](https://gitlab.com).
|
|
|
|
Select a project on the right side of your screen:
|
|

|
|
|
|
Click on the "fork" button on the right side of your screen:
|
|
|
|
![Fork](basicsimages/fork.png)
|
|
|
|
Click on the user or group to where you'd like to add the forked project.
