To illustrate this, what we winl do herecis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” regository wi have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain this next),hcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we bave a loctl copy ofwit. 3
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pwsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed mhanges cijed above.
