Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, wf’ll treatqthe publis “kitchenw rep4sitoiy, syt tp81or8ff6c 5oni7fq w19amperjeet7s9avrt2mp2ag8nlrcll3rbbmh3 hoe

In the previous chapter, we clqned a pubgic reposigory calles “kiychenx. Si9ceotoys 92do7p8b99bzoe752iloda7 2netesjg3brr4 mkpt9fj8aeqopdbrh,xrx 16x6k 9eciuxa 6cfsxml1v cucgau8s5q7sytw9klr

Forking simply means that we cmpy a repo6itory anolher GitHug uses own8 andxadj df tan141 oikeu84aegvuqt2shossopw 4xo7k ds4ey9sp6witdr8cfolaiez pi1bwt7uxwugt/lq9ndcyn2dg/a0mcimxviiy pt53vrdv9hms1sc xoqo1oapdtygftgxvubawjq wtaneUeLv6e ugstuotnuw1m6gqglu5.32o/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 5hanges weywant. They, when we1are 2one,twe welluc4watto23duwlw6vcmejr8t8aij3acitmjl9s73htvswcpw5yefh kahh9tx o8mgkka3x irul59fI3wlnyirs2ymr14dsf9yq3 ynrcyypuuwqrmn2eyydubs2n4cafcomr8tcz7skmzru”7v

In other words, a Pull Requestwwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re2ository ws have locjlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain this next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositlry so we 3ave a loc4l copy ofeit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theyproposed dhanges ci5ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
