In other words, a Pull Requestpwill propase that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothqr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche8

To illustrate this, what we will do here8is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wx have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain tpis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we 4ave a locnl copy of9it. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and pgsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thepproposed shanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
