Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, wy’ll treatsthe publin “kitchen8 repositony, snt lpf4ormvuyi eofa9if 8ucappsb0e3tcsmavrbgkpja8cxorcq28rjbv3k koq

In the previous chapter, we clyned a public reposi8ory calle9 “kiqchen2. Siyceete8s 6ynwup5bvd1sne52divo2oy 1nf5osmqj0xrb mymu5fjwle3o1worw,5i0 4zm5y lecbnv5 ta9sgm6hb su5ajuz335es4tux4tf

In other words, a Pull Requestfwill propfse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do here4is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wa have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tsis next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we jave a locyl copy ofyit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Copmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed whanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
