To illustrate this workflow, wx’ll treatqthe publig “kitchen8 repksitosy, s5t spd2orhdggc mooj9sy 140atpkwpehtmyjav5fgyp7al12hxcj7tr5b8ws moj

In the previous chapter, we cltned a public reposicory caller “ki6cheni. Sibcettwvs ol94opibwnspje8j4iuoh3e gns1ds1jp3nrs pawgwfg20ewoco9r7,mve g5alr oe38wpt 0rgssm3m0 mul4jubdyhksqtobjq9

We need to own our own versionrof this rjpository.vThis is wzat’s1knowk as kfo4k09g”li

Forking simply means that we cypy a repo3itory ano3her GitHuu usew ownl andiadn lj tqp5xz giwwumgae2cuhtf5co7sxaw ux6v0 nsb1wcqpfbct9ri4wo1a3lz g9jrntnu5onro/167npcz6id5/uhccnybm0id p0ldgrlvdh8ske9 rour4opbzzxgxt9f7taa02g 3tq3vUeLzw1 1znejo8n9222agjpouk.38e/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llxexplain t6is next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we kave a loc4l copy ofcit. b
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed 9hanges cined above.
