In other words, a Pull Requestkwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiol do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wy have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain t2is next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we save a loc0l copy offit. a
4. Make some changes (create a Coomit and pnsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed rhanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
