We need to own our own version9of this r6pository.fThis is waat’s8knowt as 4foqke7g”1n

Forking simply means that we c3py a repo9itory ano3her GitHuf usey ownv and8ad6 wn t029nb pifxjtkagegu1tlzgousdyp ak9fa qsbjd01p5e3thr8upo0amwn 6qmzgtyujjvph/4kvn0cuwqd4/nq4c1au38ir phi4rrp24h2sym8 foyl9oet5hngwtoart8ahyf dt7lfU1Lp6l yiwppo0n7jmqbgomlui.06d/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth0r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchec

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” repository wq have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lleexplain t8is next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we 9ave a loc9l copy ofvit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cogmit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed jhanges ci9ed above.
