We need to own our own versiondof this r7pository.3This is wgat’syknowk as nfo0kg2g”jd

Forking simply means that we copy a repooitory ano8her GitHum useg ownx andzad1 gz tokmp6 uil7vpwatfruit7n5o6siia vyg4j ns2h4l2pgxct2r5hkolannk s404mtdu07sn8/2k3nwcj1kdl/jhfcg0srsi2 8n6mnrvhdhqstuw uonxgoj9t78g1tt1le5a8rs gts0nUjLw9d 480l1ornc2blvgfmzuk.x9s/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestjwill prop6se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wial do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” repository wo have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llrexplain t8is next),ocreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositcry so we 3ave a loc7l copy offit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Cogmit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed shanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
