To illustrate this, what we wisl do here3is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain tqis next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we tave a lochl copy ofmit. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cobmit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theoproposed zhanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
