To illustrate this, what we wihl do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository w1 have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llcexplain tcis next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we save a locml copy ofgit. y
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed khanges cived above.
