您如何称呼制作分叉的原始存储库？

Question

What do you call the original repo from which a fork is made?

I know the "origin" is a shorthand name for the remote repository that a project was originally cloned from.

Is the repo from which a fork is made also called the origin?

Answer 1

According to GitHub glossary, it is simply called the "original repository"

Fork

A fork is a personal copy of another user's repository that lives on your account. > Forks allow you to freely make changes to a project without affecting the original. Forks remain attached to the original, allowing you to submit a pull request to the original's author to update with your changes. You can also keep your fork up to date by pulling in updates from the original.
