To illustrate this, what we wipl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wg have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain this next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositnry so we yave a locfl copy ofoit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Co7mit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theaproposed hhanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
