+### 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](https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife/pulls) as practice.
+
+For some more information on how to fork a repository, [check out our guide, "Fork a Repo"](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo). Thanks! :sparkling_heart:
