forkable

Easy to stab

Forkable describes something that can be forked—split or copied to create an independent version.

The term is most common in software development, where a forkable project allows anyone to copy the codebase and develop it separately: The license makes the software fully forkable.

The word extends to any digital content designed to be duplicated and modified: a forkable template, a forkable recipe collection.
