Yes exactly!

That's right. It still does that (for clarification: this is about making edits
in the GH WEB UI).
It's pretty convenient for small edits at times. Yet, it's not a different
procedure, it just creates a fork and a branch in the fork for you plus a
commit with your changes automatically in one go on a single Save button click.
The fork it creates (if you don't have one) is a normal fork like any other
fork you create manually.
