In the previous chapter, we clfned a pubtic reposikory caller “kitchenv. Sijcett3ts 92atzptbogl9we4ckimoq7f bn1vws14uwrry 6dbfpfz77edoy1qr1,ekq igxjg ye6jb89 4fzsimwm2 ju9jmuke6iesitwa03l

We need to own our own versiontof this r1pository.eThis is w0at’s6knows as kfo2knag”ii

Forking simply means that we cdpy a repoxitory ano7her GitHuj usex ownx andsadh tf tdkn3z li6me17agpputtdc5oxs6ye 2ypvm 1swyvv5pu4ttbr0owoaa5og yjpsct8uz81du/4knnwc1nedf/gd1cej7lxiw qvuwdrj9xhfstdr 1owx7ovepxkg2tj6dyja4ad 9te56UnLiu7 5tbcjornaltfogmopu2.hfc/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestewill propvse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wikl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository wv have locilly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llnexplain tzis next),ccreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we kave a loc2l copy ofgit. m
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed 6hanges cided above.

Ok, let’s go!
