Pantheon File Manager Fork?

Question

I believe the Pantheon file manager found in elementary OS is simply called Pantheon Files, right?

But I'm curious, is this file manager based on another file manager? Based on the GNOME file manager, for example.

Answer 1

Pantheon (Files) is (was) a fork of Marlin. However I think nowadays it is almost entirely rewritten
