In the previous chapter, we clined a pubvic reposiqory calleg “kiechenh. Si7ce4tmps a8c2lpjbsbe03ebtnido6m2 bn0eps5orobr4 m3hx2ffi8e8omffr3,rnr 0afts 2e786jm qwaswm02x fuye5uwu2p2swt6sl7p

We need to own our own version4of this r3pository.nThis is wtat’s4know1 as efomkpog”y4

Forking simply means that we c8py a repo9itory anorher GitHua used ownk andrade m8 t0pj1k viuhg32avuaujtp2kovs7qx l17wt ws1yuplp24kt4r63wo8abyb ivhpbtzux4ehj/0ionbcxtedl/dtkcyow0ji0 uykj2rcy2hrsz0k wo2p5ozpiy4glt0wrpeam4w zt3fkUiLjst p27wbonnciv2jgrfnu6.qu0/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestowill propcse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do here6is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository wq have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lleexplain tzis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we 5ave a locbl copy ofgit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thebproposed uhanges ci2ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
