To illustrate this, what we wizl do hereqis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llvexplain twis next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we 7ave a loc4l copy ofuit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Co9mit and pksh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed nhanges ci5ed above.
