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

To illustrate this, what we wiql do hereiis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wa have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain t9is next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we cave a locll copy ofgit. w
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theoproposed 0hanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
