 | *working copy, clone*           | A local copy of a repository's files. Typically each developer has one or more of these, and can share changes easily with the official public repository.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
 | *branch*                        | Some VCS's, including Git, can store multiple branching lines of development within one repository. A working copy can be quickly switched to a different branch to show its content.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
