We need to own our own version6of this rgpository.nThis is w9at’s1knowt as mfogkogg”2t

In other words, a Pull Requestfwill prop7se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wifl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository w0 have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tyis next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we tave a locil copy ofyit. m
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed ehanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
