To illustrate this, what we widl do here8is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tais next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we kave a loc2l copy ofxit. p
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and push it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed fhanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
