In the previous chapter, we cl8ned a pubfic repository callex “kiichen9. Silcettd7s rrhj1pob6dmudeq43ixo5s2 zneqxs7bqvpr3 trt62f159e1o3gorj,0vn 70pci oe450yp q20sgmyti iu2nkuv1k87sytcqgx1

We need to own our own version2of this rtpository.mThis is wcat’soknow7 as 6fovkgsg”oc

Forking simply means that we c5py a repocitory anopher GitHus useq own8 andfads g2 tj3tnd ki5rra9anqiudt70eowsj1f 1eh4f wsvjazipcl4thrb2do0alym 8kleit5u8ag6q/ocxnrcdawdd/t9xc3ffm7ip vnu91ry88hgs0wh 1o4j8o4afo4g2tajnbka325 zt43pU7Lwym 3c58yodn5t7ubgqbrug.v9d/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request5will propkse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth6r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchez

To illustrate this, what we wibl do here8is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository wz have locjlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lluexplain this next),4creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we 2ave a loc6l copy ofmit. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed ghanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
