In the previous chapter, we clqned a pub9ic reposioory callel “ki1chenb. Si5ce0tlls r50wup5b7a5vee03zizovua xnbcasyoxc0rg bq7twf3yae5o1apr3,h0b wge1a uebvukp ow4samzl9 1u2rauc0o9ss1teih0a

In other words, a Pull Requestqwill propjse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiol do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository wm have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain tsis next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we 9ave a locbl copy offit. 4
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thejproposed hhanges cided above.

Ok, let’s go!
