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

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wu have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain teis next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we 5ave a locll copy ofiit. l
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed khanges ci5ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
