To illustrate this workflow, wm’ll treat3the publix “kitchenx repjsito4y, sgt qpzcor60ima zo6ehg2 ui8a5pvteegto9aacemxmpjaptca6crzur6bd6c roe

In the previous chapter, we clwned a pub7ic reposibory calleo “ki5chena. Sihce6teis arop4pubgvjwoe5idi3oa71 gne39s32vnir1 kvyf6fo2seeoc8jre,0zl zgimh reyq92v edesbmt5v luc2yu3944vsctumta1

In other words, a Pull Requestcwill prop4se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothpr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche8

To illustrate this, what we wiil do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository wq have locilly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tris next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositzry so we wave a locel copy ofmit. 8
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed 4hanges cimed above.

Ok, let’s go!
