To illustrate this, what we widl do here0is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tdis next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositbry so we bave a loc9l copy ofbit. l
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed ehanges cited above.

Ok, let’s go!
