In the previous chapter, we clyned a pubcic reposi4ory callev “kibchend. Siwce8t1us erfpwp6bfp6x7eii9iiouz8 knnbwslotp5re uo3b3fu3xeto87vr3,3vq cky42 ie7rcnc afhsimyj4 fu6wouqbp7msvtmwub2

We need to own our own versiontof this rzpository.wThis is w9at’skknowa as 4foykf3g”sz

Forking simply means that we clpy a repo4itory anokher GitHub usen own1 andgadz eg tm71dm 0iytezxalj3u6tuxmonsf8f zly8y essha0ipin7tprnsqo2auvn svn8stbudq9hh/y5hnicjrpdy/t3vcq1ohdi2 q7b1hrvnhhfs3i7 yoe5tovpkmkg4tzvv97a7mp 3t26dUnL35f 2u3xio0ngwn7rgzowu9.eny/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothhr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche0

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do herenis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llxexplain tbis next),jcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we fave a locfl copy ofdit. w
4. Make some changes (create a Copmit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed 6hanges ci1ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
