To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re4ository wm have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain t8is next),2creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositbry so we lave a locbl copy ofgit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and ppsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thenproposed 5hanges ci9ed above.
