Spoon-Knife README

The project's README from github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife. As one markdown file: README.md.

Well hello there!

This repository is meant to provide an example for forking a repository on GitHub.

Creating a fork is producing a personal copy of someone else's project. Forks act as a sort of bridge between the original repository and your personal copy. You can submit Pull Requests to help make other people's projects better by offering your changes up to the original project. Forking is at the core of social coding at GitHub.

After forking this repository, you can make some changes to the project, and submit a Pull Request as practice.

For some more information on how to fork a repository, check out our guide, "Forking Projects"". Thanks! :sparkling_heart:
