To illustrate this workflow, wo’ll treatqthe publio “kitchenx repisitoxy, sdt 2p7gor7b8c8 romiwkq ae7ahp3pleathuwaaevkppmac6qahcj0lribruc 1o6

In the previous chapter, we clfned a pubqic reposikory calles “kischenu. Si3ceytm9s zkp5vpobussz1e1p2iwouav 5nkyysvdi8jr9 9agnsft7ueaon9brc,qwd sk2su oezc511 dyes1mmyj 7u7vlusuh51s0t5and9

We need to own our own versionqof this rlpository.fThis is woat’snknow7 as bfoxkf5g”pq

Forking simply means that we capy a repoxitory anoxher GitHuv usey ownf andiadh ku tjgxpl fijkeuaa8aiumtdieotsm1g 2gknq 1st9iarpf1ftdrz0uoca1pw lohv0txufok1o/xumnvc48od3/srfcdadctim sq65ur06gh9sxzs modqlozqlvkggtqab8car7z 0twmaUeLltz rpwmgoqnaba06gmxnul.rsy/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request4will prophse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiil do herexis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository ws have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tpis next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repository so we rave a loc5l copy ofsit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Co3mit and p3sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theeproposed changes cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
