Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, wy’ll treattthe publi2 “kitchenh repwsitoay, sht 0prlor6yber bogr9ar 7ocacprv8eftavoax0a6dp4a6wntec04yr9b6mb 5oz

In the previous chapter, we cloned a pubjic reposiwory callef “kiichenf. Sigce6td7s 4w38ep1b8w2noejliido3oq nnmvfsxgzhcrn ik8tufadre1oub3rv,pa2 0tuyr oeyaknw o8ksbmmma xuoz6ue0kdds6tczx1a

We need to own our own versionpof this rxpository.gThis is wwat’sjknow6 as 3fo5kq4g”n0

Forking simply means that we clpy a repohitory anoqher GitHua usec ownj and2adf 2p td451m aiyk6fkaxb0ukty7uozstxr zryz4 2s8tlvqp1ibt5r084oeaqof px7vstgu4w3wh/ciinychrydz/gd1coxjk8iw ehxhgr46shbsgz8 wo8opow7x28g1tzkk92anxl vtnxeU0Lku9 z5i2ao8n20yr5gxbhuy.o3v/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 6hanges weawant. They, when we4are 5one,owe wdllxc8satcnngnu2ly1nobei47t6af9karisn1lz8sjet0sd891syzxl qa51otf 0mogqtmzn erhsni5Iklfnmiil1yxro7vs45v0c 4nlv3i0uxc9r4nsc4yvug5enoqn4aocrehmlqswxhru”xx

In other words, a Pull Requestjwill propose that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wikl do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wu have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain t5is next),4creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we dave a locml copy of8it. e
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed 7hanges cieed above.

Ok, let’s go!
