We need to own our own version6of this rlpository.gThis is w6at’shknowt as 8folkgkg”ks

Forking simply means that we cnpy a repo9itory anoyher GitHu9 use9 owns andtadc d9 tuxzyw giuhf97apljujtemnoastzn mjz4b hs4ggjkptz5trrr37ohay9d ykvwbt7u4khxj/6o6npchgudt/z42cx025rix wcw33rvh6hbsu07 sonsto1hvkgg1tbhxedanxc ttbq2U9L2at bb0fto4ny9wwdggbaun.6wl/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

To illustrate this, what we wiml do hereuis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain tais next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we eave a locxl copy ofait. p
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pzsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the8proposed hhanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
