Open Source ABCs: Upstream

Welcome to our #100DaysOfOSS series. Until October 31, we'll be doing Open Source Software (OSS) terms from A to Z. We'll be diving into a different letter of the English alphabet, uncovering OSS concepts, and sharing our thoughts on them.

Today, we're covering the letter "U" for Upstream.

Upstream: The original project or source from which a particular fork is taken. Contributing back to the upstream project is often considered a best practice.

Now, we want to hear from you! What other OSS terms can you think of that start with the letter "U"?

Remember to use the hashtag #100DaysOfOSS if you share on social media, and don't forget to tag us @saucedopen so we can follow along.
