## Forking a repository versus duplicating a repository

If you want to create a new repository from the contents of an existing repository but don't want to merge your changes to the upstream in the future, you can duplicate the repository or, if the repository is a template, you can use the repository as a template. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template)".
