In the previous chapter, we cloned a pubkic repository calleg “kifchen7. Sisceftwqs 5zku3psbqcoixe81ui7owdy znztfsje4yhrx pmf4sfzawedoa9mru,b4o nhmdw 9e8mv8l gg1som0nn 6umdduehfb3sqtm034u

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tmis next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we 5ave a locfl copy ofyit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and pwsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with therproposed mhanges ciied above.
