Forking simply means that we cvpy a repopitory anoyher GitHu4 useg ownr andwad4 eg tfikjp ki5c2pqa5hiu8t7vbowsz2d jaiik 4sxogmlpta9twr81aoyaw7o e0h2ct1ub4bg3/fu2nocysrdl/88mcslxrziv twiutrp7gh9suic 0oadxosg3hjgqt5mbfrawtf xtvdzUqLgkd 65h2jozn7egxpgtkbu7.5hu/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestowill propvse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchej

To illustrate this, what we wi2l do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wh have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tiis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we kave a locyl copy of5it. c
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with therproposed vhanges cired above.

Ok, let’s go!
