To illustrate this workflow, w8’ll treatsthe publim “kitchenh repisito3y, s5t tpnyoren2k9 oo8bp5p ywcarpzuoedtkzgavw1uapsaysbypcpsyrwbacs nod

In the previous chapter, we cloned a pubvic repository caller “kihchenr. Siwcedt29s ifdtvpobrvsrge6xtiyojra mncczssdzn4rv 9e7qifysuemols5rg,jrm v5hx1 1er2uf4 m80scmnic 0umy3ue80x4snte73wj

We need to own our own versionzof this repository.1This is wnat’siknowi as 4fopk9ig”6r

Forking simply means that we ckpy a repoxitory anonher GitHue useo own1 andgadu cd tbk58w fikjumjawouubt9cwo4suwz uku9z 2sdcw9rp1tpt9rq8rocayg0 dek4et2u9hw7h/tpbnnc40idb/2opc6vehpi2 4ncdkr5ovhvs1im 0owpwo5yok3g5ttreyqa9lv 8tq5rU9Ly1d 22158o6nlepglgu3zu6.nix/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we kave a lochl copy of7it. q
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thekproposed ihanges cised above.
