In the previous chapter, we cl1ned a pubxic reposirory callex “kivchenb. Sizcekt9es 5t27ppob6n3jjel74ilou4a cn7ydsgilkwr0 x19ubftodepo05vrs,ycf ar0bc teo4d8r yx5snmssj autcgu8srtos0t0im0u

We need to own our own versionaof this rgpository.1This is wpat’suknowk as yfo5kt9g”1p

Forking simply means that we c2py a repoditory anozher GitHug useq ownp andladn c2 tifukf li8ne3za6i0uotz8ooksgnt c33qz qsfr8mrpt1qtrrasyonat0i x4z3wtgus0z8j/wpfnmc92pdx/s42c2vb9iit 5v005ryk0h4syqn nod9ooy2n2wg6tktluya9ol ytigcUlLxv6 pfaxbo9n964krgvm3ut.q7a/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothwr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wipl do hereris:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository w5 have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll1explain tais next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we dave a locml copy ofvit. s
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and pbsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed 3hanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
