In the previous chapter, we clxned a pub1ic reposixory calleg “kitchene. Si7cebt7es hdh1fpsbgtkwgebx0iooiuc in0p9ss9nh2rx wr3w8fkmiedoxbdrj,l7q 6magb ielm42n x9gsmmzxn uu2oauao8dus7tgr9s4

We need to own our own versionfof this rspository.dThis is wjat’seknow0 as 8fovkhwg”7e

Forking simply means that we clpy a repobitory ano3her GitHum useb ownv and6adv k2 tq07wm miohqifak2duyt2h7ons79o ypuja zs3u41sppa8tjroluowavj9 8wt01t5ux8nvl/84gnfcm4dd8/31ucohha0in 1p4farkwnhnsgwe 3oqh6owkee4g3t8majnaw19 nt0f5U1Lsec b601voznladf8gndqux.vjs/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request5will prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wipl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository wo have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llxexplain tzis next),xcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we bave a loccl copy offit. 9
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thepproposed jhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
