In other words, a Pull Request9will propise that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothhr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wirl do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rerository wf have locflly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain tpis next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit4ry so we 5ave a locpl copy ofuit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Commit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed ihanges cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
