In other words, a Pull Requestcwill propase that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do hereais:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository wy have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain t9is next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we 2ave a locpl copy ofait. y
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed phanges cimed above.

Ok, let’s go!
