When would you want to use a remote repository rather than keeping all your work
local?

Answer: When I want to share my repo with others, or work on different computers.

Why might you want to always pull changes manually rather than having Git
automatically stay up-to-date with your remote repository?

Answer: There might be conflicts we should deal with.

Describe the differences between forks, clones, and branches.  When would you
use one instead of another?

Answer: Fork - GitHub to GitHub; branch - same repo; clone - GitHub to local.

What is the benefit of having a copy of the last known state of the remote
stored locally?

Answer: Knowing if we're ahead, out of sync etc.

How would you collaborate without using Git or GitHub?  What would be easier,
and what would be harder?

Answer: Sending files. Gentle learning curve, but harder to keep track of changes.

When would you want to make changes in a separate branch rather than directly in
master?  What benefits does each approach have?

Answer: When you don't have access to the master branch (contributing).
