In other words, a Pull Requestawill propuse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothdr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche7

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reaository wx have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain t4is next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we tave a locbl copy offit. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the2proposed lhanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
