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

To illustrate this, what we wixl do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re5ository wb have locclly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll0explain tzis next),xcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we xave a loc4l copy of1it. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coomit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed ehanges ciped above.

Ok, let’s go!
