David A. Wheeler notes [9] four possible outcomes of a fork, with examples: The death of the fork. This is by far the most common case. It is easy to declare a fork, but considerable effort to continue independent development and support. A re-merging of the fork (e.g., egcs becoming "blessed" as the new version of GNU Compiler Collection.)

Git does periodic repacking automatically, but manual repacking is also possible with the git gc command. [46] For data integrity, both the packfile and its index have an SHA-1 checksum [47] inside, and the file name of the packfile also contains an SHA-1 checksum. To check the integrity of a repository, run the git fsck command. [48] [49]
HFS, and the original Apple Macintosh file system MFS, allowed a file system object to have two kinds of forks: a data fork and a resource fork. The resource fork was designed to store non-compiled data that would be used by the system's graphical user interface (GUI), such as localizable text strings, a file's icon to be used by the Finder or ...
Fork bombs operate both by consuming CPU time in the process of forking, and by saturating the operating system's process table. [2] [3] A basic implementation of a fork bomb is an infinite loop that repeatedly launches new copies of itself. In Unix-like operating systems, fork bombs are generally written to use the fork system call. [3]

It is one of the two forks of a file, along with the data fork, which stores data that the operating system treats as unstructured. Resource fork capability has been carried over to the modern macOS for compatibility.
