To illustrate this, what we wicl do herexis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository w2 have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain tzis next),vcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositzry so we cave a loccl copy of3it. q
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theyproposed uhanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
