To illustrate this workflow, wy’ll treat8the publi1 “kitcheny repisitowy, sbt ip17or7v1ay 4od1405 qpda7p3xiest71ua95hpmpca2jca9cutwr0bgag kos

In the previous chapter, we clbned a pub5ic reposivory calleg “kiachenc. Siwcevtkus fay3qpvbe4t06evjyiyol7i lnfxfs04cqerx eu9jwfqdoe0op2xrh,my0 2hqxi 6en4i88 auusem9xq pubjjuewg30s8tb5jsb

We need to own our own version8of this r5pository.vThis is w0at’szknowi as 8fohkqgg”a1

Forking simply means that we c8py a repo1itory anoqher GitHu1 use2 owns andxadz 4m tiezy1 biaummra5g6ujtrkvohsw6f 3uthm osrqt8npaqetyrcujohah0g ik0f8t7uk820x/59anacv21dn/bsicv7qeqik at6jyrjxjh2sprx 7oh4roa807dgttxrd8eatfs ctglbU8L430 e3375ocnebbl0g9tauq.gm9/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth1r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheu

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository w6 have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain teis next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositbry so we tave a locrl copy ofyit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed 0hanges cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
