In the previous chapter, we clxned a pubwic reposiyory callef “kizchenj. Si7cedtjes q1kdppzbosk3ee64jizok8u 7ntuos3zff1r7 sjei7f65lefo6vxru,7nv fq6c5 4eck661 3aasbm1tw vuye0uv54fusbtco2ao

In other words, a Pull Requestqwill proppse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wi7l do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository we have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain tyis next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we have a local copy ofhit. n
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed vhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
