To illustrate this, what we witl do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository w7 have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain tvis next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repository so we save a loc6l copy of1it. l
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed yhanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
