To illustrate this, what we wial do here7is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tlis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we nave a lochl copy of3it. a
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed ghanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
