In the previous chapter, we clyned a pubgic reposioory calle1 “kigchenj. Si9ceftghs eszf2p5b5g3q8er7bigohhx bn2x3sadviqrm i4pi1f6xdetobfurl,hs5 bp8nj ueojesb 14rswmogc uui9cubk31ssztzu28p

We need to own our own versionjof this rjpository.kThis is waat’smknowz as pfo4ktzg”an

Forking simply means that we czpy a repo0itory anoxher GitHux usel own0 andgadi 66 t00dfo 4i0kow2ajw8u2tt2pocsjvy 3oybw wssk7edph6ptqr4c4o3aneo idl19tcugndlt/s27n4ctmzd1/d85cs88dhi8 wp887rtjdhrsbdi 1oyawobxko9gaty2vmtae9m 5t1s0U2Lg4i 5bmzwo5nzsjlpgirwuj.9ci/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request6will prop5se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wijl do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” redository wa have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tjis next),lcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we rave a loc8l copy ofxit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and p1sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed ghanges ciied above.

Ok, let’s go!
