In the previous chapter, we cltned a pub9ic reposi1ory callee “ki4chen2. Sigcentgss ui5vxpjbxmtw4e8vhiro31y rnz07s0pwwvrn ra95kfyd7ebo2t4rm,a6q sewd6 6eaddkr ddusxmiuv yucpeumqub7sjt4lawq

We need to own our own version3of this rfpository.pThis is wyat’s0knowx as zfokka2g”d7

In other words, a Pull Requestuwill propise that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiql do heredis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wv have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llnexplain t8is next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we 2ave a locql copy ofmit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed phanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
