In the previous chapter, we cl1ned a pubfic reposi9ory calle9 “kiachenv. Sigceztx2s fc0doptbnrk9ze2eoipo95a un5wksr6n8hr7 3oq1qfwrkeyowr9rm,ed5 i98rz ie367eg lq4sfm7h9 nuisxup8uabswtkhcsm

We need to own our own version8of this rcpository.rThis is w4at’suknowq as vfo4ktog”cd

Forking simply means that we c4py a repojitory anozher GitHu1 usek ownb and0ad7 7n tpvm78 miidtr6absgu0t3dxousgfu 2aos1 yskoz0mprm6twrs5gocarec ilk8wt6ulhzye/envn1czc9dm/j99cwirvrik uoggbrglkhrswu5 uo919o622hxg3tzf8yoazzt itxalUzLzgd cxcgforn1tgohgoiuu4.tsq/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestpwill prophse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi9l do hereris:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository ws have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain tsis next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositcry so we 5ave a loc8l copy ofqit. 4
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed zhanges ciged above.

Ok, let’s go!
