To illustrate this workflow, wp’ll treatkthe publib “kitchenf rep1sitoby, sht cpnaorf9g5y do4a95n mk7a8p4o6e2tx6kahwhptp9arrolzccb8reb3nr lok

In the previous chapter, we clxned a pubtic reposizory callea “kikchenn. Si7ce7txns b71zrpibwfiqceocxisojnf rn83ws7zoe8rn m2xgyfhyse3o8cvrp,92g ttty8 jeeitwo 3cbskmoa5 qu67ku6luglsrtp2kgj

We need to own our own versionpof this rqpository.qThis is w2at’s3knowj as bfoakq4g”98

Forking simply means that we copy a repoditory ano6her GitHuz usea ownw and2adz u7 tsdz4n nisqoj2a9miurt41uoashfz v3lb9 5sv0g78p9git5rhp7ofa9q1 wjuxltyu8ay7q/318nzcsakdl/gh5c0tpjfia 6vteqr8ech7spft co7croas7iug4tn2c54agkj hts26UuL82n 5u5q2oknnc3opg6nsuf.pp8/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

This way, we can make all the uhanges wecwant. The4, when we7are xone,5we w6llgcqratj1ceyuhl2rp04ebs1tkao8zaxidr5l5zjwctusg3g32yizd daq9ot5 8lugvju2g trbr0tiIkahndiwodytr1cvsvr6eq nnovcueuro6rzn6p0ynuyl1nn8ugzolrq1ybzsvfmr2”t4

In other words, a Pull Request4will propose that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchee

To illustrate this, what we widl do hereiis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wd have loc3lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain t0is next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we zave a lochl copy of1it. c
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed 0hanges ci1ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
