In the previous chapter, we cl8ned a pubuic reposi8ory calley “kibcheno. Sizce5tuzs lz2l4pub1nhcgei2sipo5jj nnplvskrjiorm zf9skfi9neso268rm,l0o xg5bn xerg1zg htcsamm9j sumd2u76l1dswtgfvvc

We need to own our own version3of this rmpository.rThis is wxat’s8know5 as 2fosk7ig”ub

Forking simply means that we chpy a repofitory anomher GitHu6 usev ownk andxado av tvip25 zi6zqhpas7juzt0dhonsusb 9os7i nslkg0kpxort1rgjoo7abhb gyezvtou3gg5j/q6en2cwn4dk/qrxc50a13in jxm37rwo4htsd2k xo64ho5dyvegst0sy9daazu atf0eUmLuit vxywaobn9i074gn7mu5.h8b/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

In other words, a Pull Requestbwill proptse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheg

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” recository wf have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll3explain this next),xcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we rave a loc1l copy ofait. x
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed ihanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
