In other words, a Pull Requestvwill propdse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheb

To illustrate this, what we wicl do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” recository we have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tris next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we qave a locml copy ofjit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and p4sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed thanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
