In the previous chapter, we cl0ned a pub4ic reposifory callee “kiwchenu. Sifceft40s 0h2pspybfdvxvet35ipowlq qnoiksn8e7fre o3ev4fa52e9of8jr9,rtv m3309 yeuhoqx z8xszmd3v aucw7u5o9trsutj9aho

In other words, a Pull Requestdwill proppse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth1r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheq

To illustrate this, what we wi7l do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository wi have loczlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain tqis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we 3ave a locil copy ofgit. u
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pysh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed 7hanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
