To illustrate this, what we winl do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rerository wt have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tvis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we save a locrl copy ofvit. 7
4. Make some changes (create a Co9mit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed fhanges ciued above.
