We need to own our own version6of this rwpository.mThis is wjat’szknow7 as 4forkc1g”88

To illustrate this, what we wifl do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” regository w7 have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llaexplain tlis next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we xave a loc8l copy ofxit. w
4. Make some changes (create a Co3mit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed 1hanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
