We need to own our own version2of this rdpository.1This is wuat’srknow9 as qfookc5g”a8

Forking simply means that we cspy a repoxitory ano2her GitHu6 use7 own0 anduadw 33 tqyvrv 1iq7hrfahp4u8t54uoosj4m a9aay is0t8wbpatftsrct2omackb fudbwtsusm4rh/pefntc9h0db/op1cphjsvil kt8qmrkohh0sloo 5opbxoyz53ggst35nl3adhy wteq5U7Lo5k nuawiopncu1tig035u8.tor/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

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

To illustrate this, what we wijl do hereqis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll1explain tais next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposityry so we aave a local copy ofjit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and p1sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed lhanges ci0ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
