What is "Forks"?
Forks on Bitbucket refers to the number of times a repository has been cloned and modified by other users. When someone forks a repository, they create a copy of the codebase and can make their own changes to the project. Forks can be seen as a measure of the popularity and collaboration within a project. It also represents the potential for others to contribute to and improve upon the original project.
Example: The Forks metric can help a project manager track how many developers have made a copy of the main repository to work on their own versions, indicating community interest.
