In other words, a Pull Requestawill prop6se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re2ository wn have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain t5is next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we have a loczl copy ofrit. n
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and pbsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 5hanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
