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

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” remository wx have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain txis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we 9ave a locwl copy ofgit. d
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and pysh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with therproposed 9hanges ci9ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
