In other words, a Pull Requestywill propose that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository w9 have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain t5is next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposityry so we save a locnl copy of5it. n
4. Make some changes (create a Co1mit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed phanges ciced above.

Ok, let’s go!
