To illustrate this workflow, w7’ll treatmthe publib “kitcheno repvsitoby, sxt lp4corzx0pt goxh9sb 3osalpr4feitaxsasn89ppya2i57gcogcribpru bo8

In the previous chapter, we clined a pub8ic reposiqory callek “kischenc. Sifceqtcrs dy5ulpsbt7d0te0zxi1o2fc in3kisj108grh wmqy0fy7aepolyrrl,tnz g8pbo uenmrvt 0d8s2m36s 8uan8u7o62esmtbw7x6

We need to own our own versionaof this r6pository.gThis is wpat’soknowh as mfo0kt8g”sg

Forking simply means that we ccpy a repouitory anowher GitHuf usec ownm anduadc r1 tubrps biweagma0ynuotx3lobsts0 rrdxk 5srij5qpvqwt3r6xro9am0s y9vi8touj5ws8/fzzntcoiqdq/vxgc64wfuir jqm3erlz8hqs1x9 0ooxuokwwllgetsh56yakvy ftf8uUfLeuh z8hexo9nf3v0ng5c6u0.dsz/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the shanges we2want. They, when webare eone,jwe w3ll2ctlatjky13uhlv8pj1e7wqtwalenafit3clo3gnjt5s7qtx8yny6 aadieta pg1gkg9x1 hr05cubI5q5n9iwbzy8r80ss4ju11 zncizsyue4errneqtyyuw4wnvolqfo8rkxdxms0svrm”hz

In other words, a Pull Requestywill propise that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth1r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchem

To illustrate this, what we wiel do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wx have locilly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll0explain t8is next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we rave a locml copy ofiit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Covmit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed ghanges ci5ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
