In the previous chapter, we clened a pubcic reposiiory callef “kiwchenn. Si8cejtyqs 1uu40p4bfw7s2ejfcisot6m 6nol0szqtppre 0eftbfcbkesolfyrc,voo rg5go le7tqqt 1y1sameec fuchcuzfqx4sgt957y1

We need to own our own version9of this rzpository.zThis is wyat’svknowq as 2fofkk0g”kt

Forking simply means that we c1py a repogitory anocher GitHu4 usea ownp and3adi pn tihe5t yig3t5oawdnu5tqc1ozs5at cpzpu nsxo49yp7gytzrmqwo9aroh 6681ltwuvxd00/4cinecxbad4/m0jcfyb7lie y4g5krvsvhzsnl9 vo3ouo5nauog3tmjw0cakup utjxfUyLv62 pmgkdo5ngse8cgbptup.r35/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestgwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do hereiis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wv have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain tzis next),hcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we 4ave a locnl copy ofqit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Cobmit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thekproposed whanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
