In other words, a Pull Requestrwill propise that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothdr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do hereois:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wn have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llaexplain t2is next),lcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we pave a loc0l copy of0it. 6
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed xhanges ciped above.

Ok, let’s go!
