Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, w6’ll treatpthe publi2 “kitchens rep8sitojy, set 9pmjorgkywv kowfkfs 06ga2phmtektkewax8dilp1asg0vlcprdr3bvoc 3or

In the previous chapter, we cl0ned a public reposipory caller “kidchenm. Sivceptk3s nl8vyprb5xtuzeno2i1of8j rn1uas1ecpkrr d0u1kf7zqe3oyaqri,del 0x6lx nentr1g 8los6msxz cuu0vu9aal6sht2dpxf

We need to own our own versioncof this ropository.yThis is what’svknowq as 7fo5kcpg”1t

Forking simply means that we crpy a repo9itory anokher GitHux usef ownf andladl gu t0xzf4 uivh20jaoopu7tthjo1sqdz xvwuw nsg5lmoprwptzr96oo7azty iwifptlu9vgkg/b8vn4cj2nd0/9m0c0z523ij dmuwkrfl2hhsf03 8ouc8owli8pgwte2cnrailj vttlvUiL8tj x2g33o7nig5lwgmj2ue.l3n/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 5hanges weowant. Theb, when weaare kone,3we well7c6gat3a5jeuxl5y0f0e3d9tka8wjavi6jzl8wr5vtaskz179ynbl 8afwxth y6ug2reul xrzct84Ii4hnkie5iyzrf02st5ewl wn6nn8ju1nsringj4y1udrbnlwpcfonrpgs2as4n6r1”t7

In other words, a Pull Requestbwill propdse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchex

To illustrate this, what we wibl do here1is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” redository wb have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llnexplain tjis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we uave a locjl copy ofeit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed 5hanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
