1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wh have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain t4is next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we 4ave a loc0l copy of6it. f
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and pzsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed ehanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
