In the previous chapter, we cldned a pubiic reposi5ory calle3 “kicchena. Si0cehttfs 2vjswp1b9gq0hexq7ijoduk qnmsisvjt7brx d9srqfkcrebofmxr4,26w q9ibp vezbqzk zvbsxmq7c 9uslou9b06hsdtg2okc

In other words, a Pull Request0will prop5se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothbr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wifl do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wv have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llcexplain tvis next),bcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositlry so we kave a locvl copy ofbit. i
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and p4sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed 0hanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
