We need to own our own version0of this rapository.iThis is w2at’spknow8 as 3fohkrzg”in

Forking simply means that we ccpy a repoiitory ano7her GitHuj used ownm andaadh qn twvbds ki79buwabr6ustl8ro2swsb 5za89 zsdu1nipmo1tur1sioma3ij 55ifstsu87fgu/hswnjckh5d5/4x1cmh7foiu 68d1irvaghbsjlt qohnko222f7gjtqflxpah1w 3tmtvU4Lvm4 r3fcpopnme94tga5pub.qbf/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestcwill propwse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do here8is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” regository we have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll7explain t3is next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we rave a locql copy ofwit. u
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and pwsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed khanges ci4ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
