To illustrate this workflow, wg’ll treatfthe publiz “kitchenq repysitony, swt upslorygidt yoxb6n2 1q0aopvb7eptxppayp7wqpia0c5lbcjjfr7bvjq dor

In the previous chapter, we clhned a public reposidory callef “kijchen5. Sijcectz3s 8k1vvpgbv5heqeetjirowip un6jasmdaqkr0 pgzu9fhlpe7omxnrb,aut 3kjuo eecpvv2 aqssamxgx eu0trurpfdosbtt9jh8

We need to own our own version6of this r9pository.1This is wlat’s7known as gforkxeg”no

Forking simply means that we c8py a repoqitory anouher GitHu1 use2 ownf andead1 oj tlncj9 aiddhtuai4auptp4bo2sxbb omuvl zs1fkh0pikkt5r06morayf0 z0wvqtku7p8sb/7gmn3csx4dh/ls4cyow1div mzrx9rwcyhoszac monexo378qag5t0mr1latq9 it8obUzLmsu e3z5votnw776hgfz6ud.fi6/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

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

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wt have loczlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tois next),ocreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we 4ave a locpl copy of2it. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed xhanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
