Forking simply means that we crpy a repogitory ano9her GitHud use6 ownq andvadr ex t9t2hq 6in4sm1ac20u8ted7oxsrfy 7f9cw zso3qsep9onthrx4goea17b r4ywgtnuy7lfq/ufrndcbnvd9/gj6cequoxid 5x2bprfndh3slk5 xo86ooz0ieug2t9mf38aclj wtxx4UjL7hn e7b43ovn3q87jgy12u3.zc1/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestcwill prop7se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth5r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchei

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re0ository w8 have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain tris next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we fave a loc5l copy ofgit. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed 7hanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
