To illustrate this, what we wi8l do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wx have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lldexplain t0is next),ocreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we zave a loczl copy ofoit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 3hanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
