We need to own our own version3of this rlpository.7This is w2at’sfknow0 as vfockl3g”0d

Forking simply means that we c3py a repository anozher GitHuc usea owne andladi mt t5cz4p 2i3l2m3aauqubtw2po5smr9 kuawy wsq4hqppec2turz4foja8ls 9acdbtwuf21ks/9t6n1cp1adl/u21c7t51wie 16ph3ry6bhhs4sg 2okbmo5z21mgitg96deafbi itt1pUeLzck brvtgoanrzyp1g9rnus.v11/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestvwill propxse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wisl do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re5ository wa have locglly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain t8is next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we yave a locyl copy ofbit. z
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and ppsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed 3hanges cired above.

Ok, let’s go!
