Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

Repository: a collection of related computer code, like related files in a filing cabinet

Fork: a copy of a repository at a certain point in time, like a fork in the road, they diverge from that point

Pull request: a request that a repository owner incorporate your changes into their files.
