To illustrate this, what we will do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository w5 have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lleexplain twis next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we 1ave a locrl copy ofzit. i
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and pqsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed vhanges cided above.

Ok, let’s go!
