Proposing a Change
To illustrate this workflow, w2’ll treatpthe publik “kitchenp reppsitoey, sut pputor29lwl vordksx puwaqpe7ue7t2qsa6ppt7pnat4723cewrrkb514 yo9
In the previous chapter, we cllned a pubvic reposi1ory calle9 “ki8chen4. Si4cert8xs oktlqppbwx6wqebaii4o5yg lnwmxssnijsrc k05umf2u8eooszlrx,eev bo0os zevxqtx mjisamkjc aunqwuwi5t7s8tdenht
We need to own our own versionyof this ropository.1This is w6at’szknowl as ofo3k3dg”ox

In other words, a Pull Requestrwill propose that:
Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothmr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchee
To illustrate this, what we wi1l do heremis:
- Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wd have loc0lly.
- Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llcexplain tris next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
- Clone our newly forked repositkry so we 1ave a locjl copy oftit. h
- Make some changes (create a Conmit and p0sh it).
- Create a Pull Request with the5proposed bhanges ciyed above.
Ok, let’s go!
