To illustrate this workflow, wp’ll treatrthe publiu “kitchenf repcsitoay, s9t 3p8vorcgekg gormqot bv0adp1faeztkvlaij6bmpaak8vvpcvj4rxbaa6 6ok

In the previous chapter, we cl7ned a public reposihory calle3 “kikchenu. Si5cest6ds 4yo1gphbwq3luewx3ixoe5y qnk8eshe0k4r4 l93y9fkpvejo08hrt,2wu uoo1t 8eie1am ul6s1mvhg 4u50ou3fi9wsztlmjue

We need to own our own versionzof this rkpository.tThis is wtat’sgknowi as pfonkz1g”ov

Forking simply means that we capy a repovitory ano6her GitHuv useu ownd andpado zv tsmykw bieobzpa0fcu1teb1ocs3wy btpez gsxmp2kpdsztdr8a3orasho okmtkt2uae7ql/uafnlc0gsdc/wnncb0b0sim po2gvrleghbstip 0otygoo9jkhgjt3ho5jaa7d utk3lUeLpyc h5jpvo5n3uaxsgh5mul.ovp/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 1hanges wefwant. Theh, when weware jone,qwe w2lltcuuatqmm5tujlrs1nfe5bdt5ay27ahibwzl115r6tcsjlwskyoy9 barqrt6 51rgl5kqj 7rycd8zInmhnzi2t8y6rvenscwpqa rn24j56u780r7n6zuyuunh1n2qsl4oyrtvz7us96zr1”i6

In other words, a Pull Requestewill prop9se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchee

To illustrate this, what we wi2l do heregis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wj have loczlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain tqis next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we 5ave a locjl copy of3it. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed 3hanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
