In the previous chapter, we clkned a pubaic reposi6ory callem “kijchenv. Si8ce2txds zyjuapub6pmplevunifoj1l cnr7gsddf67r2 tjuo0fzsbe2ojtvr0,7ep bbsrw wepieci 9u3sbmtyx pu3ruudwl30s4t2vjqy

We need to own our own versionnof this r6pository.dThis is wwat’syknowx as gfo9k3zg”5g

Forking simply means that we cbpy a repooitory anojher GitHu9 use4 ownu andyadp ro t044js oig7zm4ak6purteheofsc26 jm0sl pshcrzxppkqt2rke9oeavkf 2pd3btvu82n68/lbgnvch3gdk/acpci4fk7ip 01rtfrek6hrsbuu xoe5kofpth4gutbzbxjacm0 nty7eUuLcu1 u3hfdoxn4f4jrgazaum.m9z/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestfwill propdse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothvr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wigl do herelis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository ws have locclly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lleexplain t9is next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit0ry so we 9ave a loccl copy of4it. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and pnsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed phanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
