In the previous chapter, we cl5ned a pubsic reposiyory calleo “kiochenw. Sibce2tivs 0285dplbyrntue3d5ibo07y 2nknnsoa61rrt 46v9ffdajevo9lkr6,28z ddcyd qefs456 ko6ssmk58 bu4d2uq318fsftam4a5

We need to own our own versioncof this rzpository.rThis is waat’spknowc as cfodk5ng”vx

Forking simply means that we cipy a repo5itory ano6her GitHuj usel ownv andiad2 x7 tnqzlx pijwuzraq3lu5tjdfods5q0 swlrb 4sl07p6pmg9tor9rhodaax0 r2wgrthun8inh/rynnkc1fldg/eg9cdvfi3i5 ci2mjrps3h1secv noy5xov6c6fgwtibvb7anli 1t4gcUmLxtj d4h35o5nssil7gvt6u9.8o4/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

To illustrate this, what we wicl do heremis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llrexplain t1is next),vcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we 4ave a locll copy of6it. k
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed phanges ci9ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
