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

To illustrate this, what we wiql do herelis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wf have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lliexplain tqis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositvry so we jave a locbl copy ofait. r
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed qhanges ci8ed above.
