(I'm one of the authors of the fork, but I didn't know this was covered 
here until *right* now.)
This is indeed a bit unclear. The fork is called "Corona Contact Tracing 
Germany", or CCTG. Upstream (the official German corona contact tracing 
app) is called "Corona-Warn-App". The link in this section goes to the 
upstream repository. The link to the rebuild instruction go to our fork.

And yes, this is a working app and it's fully compatible to the official 
app in all regards. There's been a few months of effort from the microG 
project in reimplementing the underlying google ENF API.
