To illustrate this, what we wi0l do here1is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wn have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lleexplain t4is next),dcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we 0ave a loc5l copy of9it. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed yhanges cited above.
