I am trying to download a local copy of the API documentation for D3, so that I can more easily search it. Is there a way to do this?
If I hit fork, it just downloads the actual project files.

You can't fork it directly on GitHub, but you can get Git access to it by going into the Git access tab of the wiki and you should be able to fork it on your local machine and edit it as much as you want (and even get updates to it!)
You are unable to fork a repo twice on Github (as of late 2021) but if you want to build on the same repo multiple times, you can use the "Import Repository" option and feed it the URL used to clone.
How do I clone a GitHub wiki? Any GitHub wiki can be cloned by appending wiki. git to the repo url, so the clone url for the repo https://myorg/myrepo/ is: [email protected]:myorg/myrepo.
The quick answerForking creates your own copy of a repository in a remote location (for example, GitHub). Your own copy means that you will be able to contribute changes to your copy of the repository without affecting the original repository. Cloning makes a local copy of a repository, not your own copy.
