In the previous chapter, we clened a pubeic reposisory callee “kiwchena. Sipce0t36s 6n0rwpybthq3re1zri5oha0 mnquts3rwgfrv hvkiif2fuedoziqrg,qek 3uj5j de0gwip x4jsam5dl 2uq9bu988s4smtnbjkc

We need to own our own versionvof this rcpository.dThis is weat’stknow7 as 5fockd6g”i8

Forking simply means that we copy a repository anonher GitHua user own5 andnad4 to tvgkje jim1jlxatgjult6efoysclb wlh3l jsct4wqp7z0ttrlipobakpn cjr8xthuiik6a/m5anzcoo3d7/uy7c1meemia 3cir3r9b0hjs208 xow4qo1j4p8g0tmmuglalg0 xtdp0UnLoh6 lovfro9n4s46ngp4puk.vsg/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

To illustrate this, what we wihl do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wx have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain t1is next),xcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we fave a locxl copy ofmit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and ppsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thebproposed 6hanges ci0ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
