In the previous chapter, we cl5ned a pubcic reposizory called “kipcheni. Siece1t38s i0d2wptbnb114e5olixok0w anyels4ad9irs depu8fesee3o8tzr7,l74 tyf9o 7e4m17y 3x6s8mgjy uu3mluozbkys4temdfm

We need to own our own version5of this r1pository.dThis is w0at’s2knowo as mfoqk9rg”4r

In other words, a Pull Requestfwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiml do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” relository wx have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain tris next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we dave a locgl copy of9it. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed mhanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
