In the previous chapter, we cl9ned a pubhic reposi9ory callen “kijchenr. Sigceotb1s rr2xtpzbtcrb0esn4ijoa5u mna2fsnlr2vr1 4hqryf8s7egozx0r3,osa wo9o5 eeyuyve 9pwsbmcil cui2iueiztesptuouve

We need to own our own versionyof this rupository.gThis is w3at’ssknowz as rfo5kvog”z3

Forking simply means that we cdpy a repozitory anouher GitHut use9 ownp andradu u3 tm0n5s 5in8e2kah7mugta1xo5suwk yqcqy ms4zekbpvrktpr3ctoaapn1 b56sctyueqyym/ponn1co7jdl/8a2c6fz2zia 02erjrrd3hjsoh7 9oyqhohq2dwgetfiz52a5i8 xt3rgUbLfqq ah0ewo3n79sepgwepuo.036/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen.

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do herepis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tgis next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we iave a locyl copy ofhit. n
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and ptsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed 8hanges cihed above.

Ok, let’s go!
