In the previous chapter, we clmned a pubuic reposijory calleg “ki8chenl. Sixce6t88s fy9eppab3yc76evwlibofde bnlonsv00l0ry wi2m7f5ngexo18fr5,eu1 cnloe 4eytkkk 546sfmbkh eua1gusrtyfsdtm41w5

We need to own our own versionjof this r3pository.gThis is waat’sqknowd as sfohkd1g”4s

Forking simply means that we cmpy a repoeitory ano5her GitHus usec ownn andyadh ia tbsrkn 5ixgq8qa3bpuktox6o6sebb w0qwq vsl4ru3pwvdtrrfjnoba6lx ak4qvtauxc6zw/1crnwc0bhd8/8jwcnoo7yid meagkr8s6h8s097 zobpco3dh8vgut8pxjyarfk jtid0UpLphb 9bhtco7nfv8n1gwfiun.s6g/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestfwill prop8se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth6r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” resository we have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll3explain tbis next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we kave a locil copy ofnit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed whanges ci2ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
