To illustrate this, what we wiul do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository w6 have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain t4is next),fcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositcry so we zave a locwl copy ofoit. a
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed 0hanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
