To illustrate this, what we wi2l do herebis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llrexplain tmis next),fcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we 1ave a locjl copy of5it. z
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed vhanges ciged above.
