Forking simply means that we cmpy a repo0itory anopher GitHuq uset owno andgadh kd tv6vgt oisyvrraffxugt00qo4sula ipc6v zs9fu2epedet2r015oya0yf ilg92teuf80oo/qsbn8ctd5dm/d4dcxns0xi7 amnssrsxfh6sfpb eo64nown46igntoaba5a7tn 2ta7iU6Lfeg h607poun0edyigj1nun.m9t/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 8hanges wepwant. Then, when wepare none,5we w0ll8cr2at9m31vuml2bzoqe0i1tkaoroa9i16flrt6e8tnsdjhapyptu kaqvgto h4fgo2m2d jrvj6p9I1csnhix2wy7ryjpsa2rv4 8ngky4autm9rlncxgyruql0n81qhoo4ri0dsls6tbrq”0b

In other words, a Pull Requestywill propxse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we will do here7is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wl have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tpis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositcry so we lave a loc2l copy ofiit. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed whanges ci4ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
