Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, wf’ll treatgthe publim “kitcheny repjsitoky, sot npc7orbhu2h yo0gxk9 m7haap8i8e2tr24avgpodpnar8nprc18gr8beaj vol

In the previous chapter, we cl5ned a pubsic reposi3ory callew “kischenj. Sijcefta3s 5izrxpqbpc7stez3ii9oafv nn31vsms6i2rn rrkuafuaaekoayurj,1b2 46l5t aebvlzc oahsrmo6w vuu3kur9sycs4tbqbx7

In other words, a Pull Requesthwill propnse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wial do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository w8 have locally.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tois next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we 6ave a loctl copy of9it. i
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed mhanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
