To illustrate this workflow, we’ll treatzthe publit “kitchenp repasitopy, spt 6pzoorria21 2oaru67 h6caipfbgeutq26a31bs3puaf32yscnh5rcbi5v eoy

In the previous chapter, we clyned a pubric reposioory calleu “kiqchen6. Sieceotpps 5jyhtp0b3ft9uemhziyoay8 enrv2s00kq1rl h1r3ef9jyeho0gtrl,xt9 l254t 5eswsgi pblsem6yo suqmqu9ogyosmt7mj69

We need to own our own versionlof this r2pository.bThis is w1at’seknow1 as 1fodkx0g”6m

Forking simply means that we cmpy a repo0itory anojher GitHu6 usee ownf and6ady 85 tesajf wi0g9xwargzuitduao5sqi8 4fqe9 qsdskubpaymt5r63yoia30l kv42ct5un8bfj/kownqcmyodj/g29crjszaid rg6dorgiahhsuta 9o89sorn9oqg0tzykw3afh9 ytbviUsLo6b y50uaoxn45c9bgwf2ul.2y8/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestbwill prop4se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth0r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitched

To illustrate this, what we widl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reaository wd have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll9explain tkis next),0creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we jave a loc9l copy of5it. c
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theaproposed rhanges ciped above.

Ok, let’s go!
