what is a fork?
Sort:
A fork is just when one piece attacks two other pieces, think of a protected pawn moving up a square and attacking two minor pieces
A fork is when one piece attacks two pieces at the same time. If it is a strong fork it will gain material, if not, it won't.

I thought in the same way. And I tend to agree. But recently someone told me that fork is done by knight. Other pieces perform double attack.
I did not differentiate it for years. But if we start to think - it’s very strange “fork” by, let’s say, queen if it attacks pieces at a8 and h1 for instance.

Double attack is fork.

Based on what someone told you a few days ago?
That guy is wrong. Most people use "fork" to mean "double attack". Surely there are some who distinguish between the two, but that's not a majority.
A fork is when a piece is attacking two, or more opponent pieces. While it usually refers to an attack against two pieces, it is not limited to that- e.g. the following octuple attack can also be labelled as a fork.

It looks like you've got your answers here, but if you need anything else, I have a blog post on chess terms and their definitions.
