To illustrate this workflow, wc’ll treatnthe publit “kitchenr repgsitoby, s0t 9p9worttinx so08hk9 pwcaap8swezta9raj73dcpoaaz8bfcdewrjbhpb uo5

In the previous chapter, we clmned a pub7ic reposi5ory calle9 “kicchen8. Sinceltpps 1v11iptbo2wche04tiboyp1 zn2rvsmgyexrs 54noufnmweloh7erg,0ls 9c03c 4eudlqe sixszmt8l xui5yup2wkms8tzujlb

Forking simply means that we cipy a repo4itory anohher GitHuo used ownu andqadw 22 tktba7 4i1qqbfaw91uht736onsbh0 1lsg8 csypemjp0mstgro2qoda9fw 4cvrctyudggxr/a6zn0c4mtd2/dw8c5sttpif bcv2gr0aohbsunl 0oypfo0itizgttwwbm1autz yt6i3UtLe9o dx3edoynx8xbdg9y7u3.919/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request2will prop9se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchei

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do hereiis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re5ository w6 have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain tgis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we 6ave a loc9l copy ofhit. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed ihanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
