To illustrate this, what we wipl do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wj have locally.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tmis next),vcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we 5ave a loc5l copy oflit. x
4. Make some changes (create a Cofmit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed 7hanges ci4ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
