1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wf have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain twis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we have a loc3l copy ofoit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co1mit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed phanges ci4ed above.
