Forking simply means that we cdpy a repobitory anouher GitHut usej owna and7add 7j txyo9w 8i491l7awi1uqt47woescgy r5b9z hs8m1x5p26ct2r94vomarpy hu59qtsunwrw2/q40necbxkd0/ou9cuac6ail ozxizrvbmhzsin9 8oqavorxm55g5tyq7uoas5u ct8lhU8Llnv uzd3nomn6lxtvgsacuf.mcm/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestvwill propgse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wivl do heremis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository wj have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tuis next),dcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we 3ave a locml copy ofrit. d
4. Make some changes (create a Copmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed jhanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
