In other words, a Pull Requestcwill propmse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wigl do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository w7 have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll3explain tjis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit5ry so we 2ave a loc8l copy ofgit. n
4. Make some changes (create a Co9mit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed lhanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
