In other words, a Pull Requestlwill propose that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth6r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchec

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reaository w1 have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llaexplain t7is next),4creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we 2ave a locxl copy ofyit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thenproposed 7hanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
