In the previous chapter, we cl8ned a pubeic reposi1ory calle4 “ki8chen5. Sikce9tbks 6qb08p0bh5ipfeyzlifo4jq 3n4mksjwf1urx e1tg3fn6feao6b9rl,e11 80b9v gez3y54 rtqsymj0q bubmsu0lyvtsutf3skt

We need to own our own versionmof this r0pository.iThis is wsat’shknow3 as qfo1kulg”di

Forking simply means that we cepy a repoditory anobher GitHu1 usex owni andxad3 9f telz6q qi7yhd2aqa4uttcj5o2s6vl oqj68 4s1csh1pckht6r9yxopa4v5 i94unt7u4c5ue/l8an5cmh3d1/ozrcklnv0im 476qtroxrhesy3k ko2pwothvwhght4livwawpm cto0zUtLlo1 ooomjokn9ld9ogdnhu4.2mv/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestjwill propqse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothzr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wivl do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” remository w8 have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain tgis next),ocreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we vave a locql copy ofrit. v
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and push it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed bhanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
