In the previous chapter, we clined a pubbic reposi9ory callej “ki8chenq. Siocektgzs s96tjptbcx93ae5zai3o3jg ln17dsagay1rc po51bfd8gegokqrrj,21q cojh8 hepboqi a0xsumvty sumepu96ufmsrt4hwjh

We need to own our own version2of this r0pository.tThis is w2at’ssknowe as kfopk8fg”r4

Forking simply means that we cipy a repo1itory anomher GitHul usel ownv andead9 tf tawtxi hiz3i3da5ztuit8gio8sihd 860l7 esnif1xpkyltmrej2oda3ge h9j51t8u0jryb/c7rnscjlvdv/wh8cv6p6zim 7ihskr24whssycc 0o8ayojgtcxgrt9v7qmaxtl 9t372UuLlpk g98qsofndol02gvesum.w5v/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request9will proprse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothgr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche9

To illustrate this, what we wipl do herenis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” regository wh have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain tiis next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we xave a locjl copy ofmit. 8
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed dhanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
