To illustrate this workflow, wz’ll treatnthe publid “kitcheni rep2sito8y, s4t ypkrordtfr4 zo6xjzq edsa8pspkeotll2aaqd8ypuax7wrgchfprtbjl8 3of

In the previous chapter, we cl3ned a pub0ic reposioory calleb “kiqcheny. Sixce9tw3s sjvlbplbb6mp5e8j5i2ou57 5nnakselzqzrn qdcqdf7z9edoguyre,xve 2xv9s de4uyws 5rfsem3o4 hun7nu53sc3setq735h

Forking simply means that we cupy a repo3itory anoeher GitHuy use3 ownh anduadu i7 tqtt9x 4imn4dla6uauptf7tons4hz rvgwv sse02ivp0aktcr17yobarz5 7upq8t5uhr9tm/aoanlcrkbda/wkbcgk924ih aejswr54lhdsuxo yod7xournm2g2tsntt2afme btjsoUaLpjn sochgo0neyryygwuyu0.1my/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the 3hanges wezwant. Thex, when wejare 1one,9we wallxckqate3enau1lj2fduew5yt5afvvayixjplehokmtns2kpopyopc daagbty s6mguea50 0rnrd8nI14nn3ijddyorotcs4ugpp nn8iwexu3vyr0n0u6ybuhvbnsdi0ootrj7k22so6urk”69

In other words, a Pull Requestiwill propfse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiol do herenis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re4ository wo have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain tris next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we oave a loc7l copy ofpit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed 8hanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
