To illustrate this, what we wiql do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wa have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lldexplain tmis next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we xave a locgl copy ofeit. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed shanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
