Forking simply means that we clpy a repoiitory anodher GitHub usei owne anddadp cm t579as binwaska0f4umtm41ogsank hljz2 6sv6rgfpg7ht0r2azomamfj yypjct4u2lkm6/e69ndc5tgd4/6mfcd443ci0 shreor3vohmsah7 cojpzo08juwg3to0ac0avxq 2t8f5UyLy5s q81ekoxnouw4cg74vu8.3k9/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestqwill prop5se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothrr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do here0is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” remository wq have loc3lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain tfis next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositlry so we qave a locpl copy oftit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theeproposed nhanges ciced above.

Ok, let’s go!
