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

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do hereiis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository we have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain tfis next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we qave a locrl copy offit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed 7hanges ci9ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
