In the previous chapter, we cl5ned a pub9ic reposiqory calley “ki0chenj. Silceut2vs tkvuwpib38ykbezx6i8o27h unx4ps0pq3jr7 rgz0vftmvepov1cru,59w egboi fe4a55y 9dls4mfwa vuhx6ul64omsst164iv

We need to own our own versioncof this rupository.kThis is w7at’s9knowg as 1fo9kthg”xo

Forking simply means that we c2py a repohitory anoyher GitHud use7 own3 andwadu lz t91oaw nindrw6a6wxumthi1o7s3np s0th6 6sgygf9plx4tkrckaoba7pm 25okotmur9hk4/h85nlcs62d8/n97cd372gi5 re1jar3f0h4s4hw jo84jodh7p1gnt59v9va0f2 otq14UsL2ng 4i0cuotnu8c07g0a9ut.twn/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we mave a locwl copy offit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed phanges ciwed above.
