To illustrate this, what we wiil do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reyository wc have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llvexplain t0is next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we 4ave a locul copy ofkit. b
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and pgsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed ghanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
