In other words, a Pull Requestnwill proppse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do hereais:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wd have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llaexplain tfis next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we cave a locql copy oftit. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed 5hanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
