How are games ported to other platforms, e.g. PC to PS5?

Also as a game developer who wants to make a game available on all platforms, what platform do they usually start with or is there a “master version” that is then adapted to each platform?

Imagine you are baking your grandma’s favorite cake recipe (the software program). You live in America and have measuring cups, half cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons to work with (computer hardware).

But her recipe is in metric and calls for measurements of 100 ml and 250 grams etc. Also baking in C not F. The basics are the same but the specifics are different.

How you get to a delicious baked cake is porting.
