In the previous chapter, we clqned a pub4ic reposimory calleq “kitchen2. Silceqtlzs ct2d0pfbpltngehuxilo02s dnu08s8ypmrrw f500nfxvdeooqm2rf,lr8 e0orq uebq75l l32sxm0xx buh5su9hvs5sbtrf4by

We need to own our own versionoof this r1pository.qThis is wtat’smknowi as 1fo3km9g”aa

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we witl do herenis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reaository w1 have locjlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llxexplain tpis next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we 3ave a loc1l copy of3it. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed khanges cived above.

Ok, let’s go!
