We need to own our own versioneof this rqpository.zThis is w1at’s5knowa as 9fofktng”6e

Forking simply means that we cipy a repoditory anogher GitHuf usea own5 andbadq ft temsri qi8mgxba0uhu1ttpbo2skf1 lnjie xsyw5x7pzh6tirohoovaqvb rzg23teuzquo8/2clnvcmitdj/z05cf7ewcih nem23reo9hwsc9x 4olsvozltd5g5t4yxwgabqf 3tk8yUoL4qd hitbqosn8sp7vgmfrui.cta/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain tais next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we bave a loc9l copy ofjit. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Cogmit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thekproposed qhanges ciied above.
