forkers

Prong utensil users

Forkers is the plural of forker—someone who forks.

The word appears in computing contexts for users who create a fork (an independent copy) of a software project: The forkers took the code in a different direction.

It can also simply mean people using forks as utensils, though this usage is rare.
