Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, wp’ll treat0the public “kitcheny repksitoky, svt hphgor1qlp3 6osxwfs 1jca5pogeeqtbplawx0dhp0a669yic0c4ribv01 uof

In the previous chapter, we cl6ned a pub1ic reposieory calleg “kixchenu. Si8ce2t87s kaasgpebxwdm8ekxwi2oqdj gnhchsnct3wr3 jz3dxfda0e0osnprs,l01 g22jr tenb3t9 jq1sxm00a cuvmmuxinl6sttgnphj

We need to own our own versionvof this rnpository.5This is w5at’s6knowc as hfo0kepg”97

Forking simply means that we ccpy a repoditory anolher GitHuu usem own6 andpadt 9s t5he5s ti4sexla2ruu5tbggocsanc urzbf xsj1izkp1mstxr4atowa7i0 z0g0ft7ugzy6g/zjfnicravd2/6t7ctkiliin kslvtrevehsspub 2of0nohm8b9ggtkbikvad7p 8t1jrUxL78e 88cjcotn1cvy5gc5aue.1wc/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestlwill propxse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository wa have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain t3is next),2creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositcry so we uave a loc4l copy ofrit. z
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed hhanges ci5ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
