To illustrate this, what we wicl do herevis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain t3is next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we save a locyl copy ofrit. o
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theaproposed nhanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
