A fork on GitHub is no fork

Forks are clones that live on GitHub, with some access control.

PRs are native to GitHub, but I can send you an email Requesting that you Pull from my remote. The Linux kernel team still emails patches I think.

Issues are a GitHub thing.

Thanks. This answers it. It looks like whenever git is introduced to someone is always through github. I think this is why most people assume a different picture of git than what it actually is. I think this demarcation between git and github must be clearly stated.
