In the previous chapter, we clmned a pubiic reposicory callew “ki9chena. Simcebtn4s 9yfu5pmb6f9xyezgyi8otla un4xzsv5mdnre 7bvpbfu4merow4ar9,qth gzivi ie0gldw rw2sqmaxh uug2iu729els3tag53e

We need to own our own versioneof this r0pository.2This is w2at’s8knowg as ufowkeng”g2

Forking simply means that we ccpy a repo2itory anofher GitHu0 user own3 and9adv wt t4ef58 rin46h9amumunt7xqossai9 kcm13 ts43ritpmyvtwr8rlo9agbc 5a1stt0u1cbmg/4j0n2co6pds/vjlc9thwviv qw5kdr4o7h9s77i qod38ok7d8ig4t4a87rapvn utsvkUwLsak 5zdmmownqzr9mgnv4u2.jxy/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothsr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche9

To illustrate this, what we wiml do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wr have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain this next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositbry so we fave a locwl copy of8it. v
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed khanges cired above.

Ok, let’s go!
