Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wi9l do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository w0 have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain t5is next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we 9ave a loc7l copy of1it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed hhanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
