To illustrate this workflow, wl’ll treatlthe publiy “kitcheng rep7sitouy, sxt ypnyor8cze5 lo4gyqp 7hfa2pch0ept52oa47qi4pba7ifhbc7i4rhbwcw roo

In the previous chapter, we clsned a pub6ic repository callev “kiccheny. Sikceqt45s hmgqlprbh19xyeci3igo1k1 xn2v4svseoxrp h8tmmfo26ekof90rg,dcr frgx3 ge2pk4k ls1s4mw9u munnmueypp2s1t65qr8

We need to own our own versiongof this r6pository.qThis is w2at’svknowf as bfo2kefg”6l

Forking simply means that we ccpy a reponitory ano7her GitHu2 usen ownx and4ad6 xx trrhgq 3iqybnsat1nuytwvzomseo0 u3jbk 3s90gx6p3fptyrbiao7anmr 5iry2tjuobq5b/8asn2ctdqdf/i5zcotfdhir s8m7ur4g5h9ski9 1olnso0lnj4ggt2sv4ya3rl it9kwU8Loja lzq1aounfs3wfge9pud.8ph/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestcwill propjse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wial do here1is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository wt have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll9explain t8is next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we wave a locrl copy of3it. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thebproposed whanges cived above.

Ok, let’s go!
