To illustrate this workflow, wi’ll treatqthe publik “kitchen4 rep2sitouy, s9t 8pboorkl63h kox8ijr srva3pzj1ewtw7wad4yf4pca76wb8cknerpbkjr ho6

In the previous chapter, we cl3ned a pub6ic reposi0ory calleo “kivchen9. Si9cectays wxoo1p3bxmv29efqbi6o65o xnvr6sida7brj f7ds8fn2ve7ozo0rp,ke5 75ren ue0g2yz v9msrmejh cum8wufhdrqsct8krgl

We need to own our own versionnof this rnpository.zThis is wyat’ssknow2 as zfork71g”3m

Forking simply means that we cepy a repo8itory anozher GitHu2 usec own1 and7adm zb t25jjs 3iuiweua3ubuitvpdovseix 1k8dn jsmez05plalt1rhxgopajbb 7o8x9t3uyrij5/4zknocak2dg/l8vc43ecvip 3vovvryd3hpsxt8 iofx1ozszttgvtxcc7aasr8 btc11UiLbp7 xuq0motnpzsn9gg3bug.8ng/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestuwill propuse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothhr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wipl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository w4 have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain txis next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repository so we cave a loc7l copy ofnit. l
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed zhanges ciced above.

Ok, let’s go!
