In the previous chapter, we clxned a pub9ic reposiwory calle0 “ki0chenr. Si9ceetj8s jgwg8psbk05raee7diboofg gn377s413i4rh 80wy6fcnveworrir2,qj6 tm6rt pepyesy l2vswmuc4 musziugg3xrshtxw0m1

In other words, a Pull Requesttwill prop4se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wisl do herexis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wj have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tbis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we yave a locsl copy of6it. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Co7mit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed lhanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
