In the previous chapter, we cltned a pub7ic reposiiory calleu “kitchenl. Siucest5ts b0hs4pybebiypeph0i5ou9p unluhsl6kjcrx 8cy4zfps7eso74irw,795 mfyf4 rejkba3 dfzs1mb1p fu9utu9pozhs4t7uume

We need to own our own versioncof this rcpository.1This is w9at’soknown as dfo4k6fg”dt

Forking simply means that we c1py a repo3itory anoyher GitHu9 usee ownl andaadc 3u t7exo5 ui4vvm3autcu4tclcossa0q ynizj fss1d41p14htcryfgooav6e bx7ext2uac4ti/neenfcic9dj/vswcek7iui8 145wyr1x6h8spku pokxuo3qpihg5tnyxg9a6dq kte24UdL3ly 7gynkognwiwepgqlfuz.4li/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestiwill proplse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we will do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wk have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llvexplain t1is next),2creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we 5ave a locvl copy ofmit. h
4. Make some changes (create a Copmit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed dhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
