To illustrate this, what we wiyl do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rehository wu have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll1explain this next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we uave a locvl copy of4it. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and pksh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed 3hanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
