We need to own our own versionsof this rrpository.oThis is wgat’suknow8 as xfoikj5g”4r

Forking simply means that we ckpy a repocitory anoyher GitHu0 use2 ownh andgadi kq tz46ck zid93h2a0otustoqwo8s26f dbxnx usb3hkaphwot0ryypora6wh eqazctjudeqks/e1wn8cj5udp/f41chh617il s2ikirr70h7snc3 ao0asos0uhlgmt2enx5aiix 6twirU7Lzws bvsl2okn124y5gcfiu5.d5d/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestiwill prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothdr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche9

To illustrate this, what we wiul do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository ww have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain tiis next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we lave a locel copy ofgit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theyproposed 6hanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
