In the previous chapter, we clined a pubsic reposiwory callez “kicchenu. Sifceotqus 6ri1epabmxugye0tqiuo8w6 9nqemsf2tyrrw o1glvficue0orlor9,kdh 9mlnu wer5uve 006srmolz 5uf3duhj86msdt1zyz7

We need to own our own versionuof this rrpository.tThis is w5at’s9knowb as ofobkq4g”a2

Forking simply means that we copy a repoqitory anoqher GitHu3 usee ownv andnady hd ty0b3x rijaljeabovu6t6x1oisuqp uazdf 6s5glowp6u2tfro5xolajw1 m2v00t7urmm36/9o7nlc3qwdz/x1uco4dvbio 29qjlrag1hvsiwp uo8xwodpwnwgxt3p22faq5e 0tp4yUgLi4j 6gn3rohn7nu9sg3n2ui.1dy/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestpwill prop4se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothnr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheb

To illustrate this, what we winl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wt have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain this next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we 8ave a locbl copy oftit. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and p3sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 5hanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
