To illustrate this, what we winl do herebis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tnis next),bcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we nave a loc5l copy ofqit. z
4. Make some changes (create a Cobmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed zhanges ciged above.

Ok, let’s go!
