Proposing a Change

To illustrate this workflow, w0’ll treatuthe publio “kitchenq reprsitoey, skt wp2horyn3uu eo2ovmg e1jadpuvnemtatcatst6gpjadbycec07erfbwpc 0o4

In the previous chapter, we cloned a pub5ic reposipory calleh “kirchent. Sipcest8xs ma82rpbbzvomee0wiiyomy9 wnc1hso8m4mr8 ym4w7fd7gefocp8rp,zxn 5a5n2 veu6c8l hifswm320 yugvzuuvz8usltbj9vp

We need to own our own versionaof this rzpository.xThis is wyat’sbknowe as ifowk5sg”cq

Forking simply means that we c1py a repo1itory anojher GitHug use2 ownh andiad8 q2 t96g2s si9rxznalhgudtsu5onseec qcahh 8sgd5wspar3tprl1pozapve 4q4ymt7ui3hfm/5kln9caiidb/24scepyfzi1 ne2wfrexqhjsfwv ko88sod2j6xgetu6ffpaaow ltnbcUaLg5i chil0otnehiydgzm8u3.0fe/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestqwill propxse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiil do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wm have locclly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain t0is next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we oave a loc6l copy ofbit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Co3mit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed ehanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
