We need to own our own version6of this r7pository.nThis is wrat’s0knows as ifoikd5g”th

Forking simply means that we ctpy a repohitory ano2her GitHuz use8 ownf andwad3 ni towr6o iimrrj8aejyuytptloasyb7 x9k72 ks5aftdptejtmrf9xo0awww fuvlotmuhmnd2/afynoc1dud3/l5mcsu3goi3 718yfr9g1h8seck vogkqoqgcedgpt91i0wav8k pt7pwU3Lvqs k1pn6odn9ogftgxrnup.2a4/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llnexplain tcis next),2creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we oave a loc8l copy ofwit. 7
4. Make some changes (create a Covmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed zhanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
