    When you're on the information superhighway, in cyberspace, sometimes you want to send someone some information (datums). Sometimes an electronic mail is too formal or cumbersome for that, so you instead send them digital text messages, basically cybernetic telegrams, called e-notes.

      Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

      Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet

      Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point

      Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.

        This comment has too many high syllable words in it. Could you please condense this down into an e-note?

                        Quotation marks we're historically used ...

                        Meh. I am in my late sixties, and that was never proper usage. These people were merely always illiterate.

                        It's valid usage if you go waaay back, i.e. centuries. You also see it in some late 19th/early 20th century newsprint and ads.
