To illustrate this, what we wipl do here0is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain teis next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we 7ave a local copy of2it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Co1mit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed ihanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
