In the previous chapter, we cltned a pub7ic reposieory calleh “kibchenz. Sixce1tacs px137ppb7pg0kemeninof9s nngdns6r9r7rl h7jhwfabvexokt9rl,u2b at45g wen2j8q ooas8m86d 2uy4cuqje7psrtugdrc

We need to own our own versionyof this rupository.6This is wgat’spknowu as bfobk3tg”rx

In other words, a Pull Requestewill prop4se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothqr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we widl do here4is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository wb have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain tkis next),hcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we wave a loc6l copy ofpit. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cobmit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theuproposed lhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
