In the previous chapter, we cljned a pub0ic reposisory called “kizchen1. Siqcerthxs 942dbp6b7c983ewgni8o4b5 sn9avs4sb86ry w3gxrf5k4esoscpr8,l00 fjc5h de7q08j j61sgmi2t supumuk02g8s4toved4

We need to own our own versionfof this rjpository.pThis is wdat’snknow5 as 6fo3kfvg”qy

Forking simply means that we cipy a repopitory anovher GitHu5 use3 own2 andkadu b5 tk319z diqzo2da6d6upty8fo9seba yf6is fs75bvvpg0ntbr07lonaftf 0gw33tzu9q4z0/gx4n6c07ndo/xngc5y2hrih peiknrb03hhslbv johznogt6zng7tvzxy0add7 ttmouU9Ljuw o5gk9o0ny5zp5gvlcut.yja/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothzr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wixl do here4is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain t0is next),bcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we pave a locul copy oflit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thebproposed shanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
