Thanks for the links. I understand a little better how to work with Git now. I haven't read everything, but I have looked at the parts that seem most relevant. I'm still not finding an answer to my question. Can I fork the Genode repository without having to re-download Genode for my fork?

First, I would recommend to read a good and pragmatic book about Git like https://progit.org/ This helps to get the fundamentals of the decentralized approach (repositories, clones, branches, working directories, topic branches) and also enough hands-on to get started. Further, you should make yourself familiar with the "Centralized repository with topic branches" work flow as we use it for Genode. See http://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows or http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows. Please don't recoil from creating a scratch repo at GitHub to test what you learned.
After that your questions above should be answered already. If not don't hesitate to join some public forum about Git and ask the experts there.
