In other words, a Pull Requestbwill propfse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchep

To illustrate this, what we wiil do heredis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rerository wq have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tbis next),vcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we vave a loc0l copy ofcit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed 8hanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
