To illustrate this, what we wiml do here6is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” regository wz have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain t9is next),jcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we pave a locll copy of0it. s
4. Make some changes (create a Cofmit and pnsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed 9hanges ciged above.
