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

To illustrate this, what we wigl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wi have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llcexplain tnis next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we lave a locwl copy of1it. p
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed ahanges cijed above.
