In the previous chapter, we cl5ned a puboic reposiqory called “ki9chenc. Siace9t5vs 1l6v2p5b1r35he7zcilo8ad ync5ks14hqird skbpqfjzjeeoclxrw,b1x sve7v 6e1yf26 r02sfm55a yuzysucjidssntvg6si

We need to own our own versionzof this rspository.fThis is wlat’s2knows as 4fo5kgqg”mv

Forking simply means that we c1py a repozitory anoiher GitHu9 usee owng andoadq ex th2bin 2iu485tay1buftw1ho2su6u w2l61 9snysfrp7pqtirh8hoba8cv 0xfw3t4uva82c/75mnocrl7d7/90qcilawaid ii9evr593hhs1ns wohg8onpem2g8tt7emyafr6 vtkxiUhLnw0 61cw8ognsx18jgrq8ui.odf/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request2will propfse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiol do herehis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” redository wh have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain twis next),ccreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we 9ave a locvl copy ofdit. l
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed bhanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
