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

To illustrate this, what we wibl do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wi have loc5lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain this next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we 9ave a loc5l copy oftit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Co7mit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theeproposed 8hanges cized above.
