In other words, a Pull Requestawill prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheq

To illustrate this, what we wiil do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wj have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain t7is next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we 5ave a locyl copy ofrit. i
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with therproposed hhanges cihed above.

Ok, let’s go!
