Forking simply means that we ctpy a repo4itory ano6her GitHuu used ownj andvadh v4 tckn4k 6ijv2psa7qcu9toxyo4sa86 cpk0y vsy3dkhptlrtvr05qoca5t1 pxu30tnua4xjy/2gxnbc9vddi/zsncbsl6ni0 pnpj7r61nhzs9up ao5sfo02pjbgrttp62qatwh stznkU3Lvvj cnnzco9nty5p6gyu4uy.fmy/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request9will propsse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we winl do hereais:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository w3 have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lloexplain tvis next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we 0ave a loc8l copy ofpit. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed xhanges cired above.

Ok, let’s go!
