To illustrate this, what we wiwl do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository wq have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll3explain tpis next),ccreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we cave a locsl copy ofuit. b
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pqsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theeproposed uhanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
