To illustrate this, what we wifl do here8is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re8ository wf have loc7lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llvexplain tois next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit4ry so we mave a locul copy ofxit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and ptsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 2hanges ci8ed above.
