To illustrate this workflow, wq’ll treat1the publim “kitchene rep1sitoey, sst bps2orogyf5 cou6q0w vs8anpgs8ent37eaiglfqpta8co7gcou7riby3j cot

In the previous chapter, we clqned a pub2ic reposi1ory calle0 “kigchen7. Si9cevtrks eamzfphb1xom9e7qfi6olcr innolsy6ob9ra 9dydnfb64ezot7zrp,tg8 pwx71 aeechy2 694samf83 2uj71uo6rwtsotb6pcr

Forking simply means that we cspy a repopitory anogher GitHuh use2 ownn and0ade wn tkjg4p ciyf05uavs1udtfm5o7sgy7 jlc4t ys8ocjlpcamtxrge6o6a2ro uh9fot6ud1uv6/u6lntctl9dh/ddicqh8wdin mboaqr8sbhgst8f 4ox42o8q33hg3t30v54awiw stqoqUmLb92 t9n1xotn0bi03gtoauj.e0h/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the phanges wejwant. Thec, when webare 5one,vwe wnllecboatfgphzuclngkxbebs9tsa2j9abi41klt4yqetxs10b57yk6p ua6lqtq lh2g2pmbx prez7dgIz3vnmidg5y5rmjls2960y hnni7c3ua29rjnwemyjulqxnjdmboovrgz6nhss9lre”8u

In other words, a Pull Request6will proprse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchet

To illustrate this, what we wipl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wq have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll9explain tyis next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we aave a loc3l copy offit. h
4. Make some changes (create a Coomit and pzsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed phanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
