We need to own our own version4of this rtpository.jThis is w7at’s7knowr as gfojkd9g”1h

In other words, a Pull Request6will proprse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothir <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository we have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tris next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we pave a locel copy ofxit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Cofmit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed 6hanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
