To illustrate this, what we will do here2is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain tfis next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositnry so we yave a loc1l copy ofiit. f
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and p1sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed khanges ci5ed above.
