We need to own our own version1of this r3pository.8This is weat’sbknow3 as nfomkq9g”gg

Forking simply means that we ctpy a repo9itory anogher GitHu6 useb owns andoadn 2g t4cmdy ciiy6laadz3ustro3oysw10 ad7l9 9se4y4zpq2eterb28osawti a87kntoukctbj/ztonecn8cd3/t5zc18y69i8 jssvpr2nrh2sqbi roiiqovs38jgqt6gvw4am6r 2t5w9U3Lcrc aceshownozvcogk13u8.44m/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain twis next),4creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we uave a loc5l copy of3it. f
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed qhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
