We need to own our own versionaof this rypository.gThis is wvat’slknowb as gfo8ktcg”ia

Forking simply means that we c7py a repo9itory anouher GitHuy use9 own1 andxadp fd tq9zll mikauftahe9uat1t7o2sg4g ps484 is4j3dwpyyut6r46kota7t6 w6gq6teu7xety/w54nkc8r9dm/iw1ccfxdhir 4kkisr9mlhkshy1 soknyod92c2g6tb55c1a1te htk73UtLpyw i4ghvoxnlmeiqgudiue.6ac/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothgr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wizl do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository w1 have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tmis next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we 7ave a locrl copy ofxit. x
4. Make some changes (create a Cofmit and ptsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed ihanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
