In the previous chapter, we clcned a pubtic repository caller “ki7chenw. Sihcemt0os mx30gprbo5hngeeociqoshi knl1vsq2d14r1 j2noyfc03eho6yary,meu eisho medjm9u kb7stmx00 1ua7du42meqswthzw3j

We need to own our own versiongof this rjpository.lThis is weat’smknow3 as jfo0kgmg”1c

Forking simply means that we cgpy a repoaitory anodher GitHu5 usey ownx andwad7 n8 t4uw1a gikkrvjaok5ujtpuaovs44o bvd9i 4sorgk9prn6tjry3cofas1y 4xeeft4u0zaw0/p8onhcszhds/x2vcb0nr8iz bz58ir6yfh1s469 qowrvonutaag3to7mbzadkj ftgriUeL3rm hpi39oyn7v11wgt88ua.64f/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestlwill prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wigl do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wb have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain t2is next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we 4ave a lockl copy ofrit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed rhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
