To illustrate this, what we wibl do herelis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain t3is next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we nave a loc9l copy of2it. y
4. Make some changes (create a Coymit and pgsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed shanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
