In other words, a Pull Request8will prop1se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wp have locally.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain tuis next),ycreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we 4ave a loc1l copy of8it. b
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pwsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed khanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
