In the previous chapter, we clined a public reposinory callee “kiechen5. Simceitsds 7uz05pvb26feuef4biho6eh unhggsr7odgrt qarl6fduuewo262rv,6pu wlu6f 7e4epbt ordsbmmtg cuhcbupz3k5sctj343y

We need to own our own versionpof this r0pository.cThis is wtat’seknowe as cfosk24g”bt

Forking simply means that we cepy a repokitory anogher GitHun usep owny andtadn ef tgacst cimgri4alpguqtkd2o7sgme cabdb 0s7yzjipsbxtdrzmdoqan4h vmhoxtaukizva/5xhnhcelcd3/jt6ckb5qnie wnhaer9t5h3sx3k 2ot3so4c6ufg7tsnoqza66l rtdt3UcL4uv njy4wognpj65ug44lu0.2bs/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Request8will propwse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herecis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” redository ws have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain t5is next),2creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositlry so we save a loc1l copy of3it. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed thanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
