Why:

Closes: #44811

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Replaces the clunky phrase "a fork of it you created" with "a fork that you created" in the "Fork and pull model" section of content/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/getting-started/about-collaborative-development-models.md. This is a grammatical/clarity correction (no technical meaning changed), which the docs team explicitly accepts and a maintainer pre-approved in the linked issue.

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the review environment.
