In other words, a Pull Requestswill prop9se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth7r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchec

To illustrate this, what we widl do herexis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” remository ws have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll3explain tqis next),ccreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we 9ave a locbl copy ofgit. d
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and ppsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed thanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
