Feel free to have fun forking my notes.
I won't see it until my clients have implemented the change, and if I then see you've forked my notes as a troll, I'm muting your sorry ass.
So, GFY. 😊
Discussion
Can't they still fork it, they can still see you?
You have to remember, I'm not tech literate. I saw forking explained once and can't remember how it works. Does it have to be interacted with by you to be forked by others? I really don't know and that was a serious question.
They can fork and create a new version of my note. Then they can send me a pull-request, to ask me to accept their new version and use it to replace my version.
They can spam me and troll me with requested changes, basically, but I can respond by muting them and then I don't see their requests.
Thank you for the explanation. Maybe the answer will stick in my pea brain this time. 😂 I still don't totally understand forking and not even sure how or if I would ever use it. 😂 Have patience with me dear fren.
They use a lot of tech-mumbojumbo to say "request a change" and "accept a change".
You could use it to fix a broken hyperlink on someone else's note, for instance. Copy the note, correct the hyperlink typo, send them a request.
Edit your post then is what it means. All this new terminology to me is hard to understand.
Yes, you can
- "edit your own post" (create a new version and immediately accept it) and
- "fork posts" (create a new version) and then
- "pull request" (ask to have the new version accepted).
No. I meant its editing someone else's note for them? That then has to be approved by the author. Not editing their own not. I can't even ask questions about this stuff right! 😂
You can do both.
They call it different things, but it's the same thing, in the background. Your changes to your own notes are just automatically approved, basically.
