To illustrate this, what we will do heregis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository wk have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain tgis next),dcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we xave a lochl copy ofxit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed rhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
