In other words, a Pull Requestqwill propise that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wifl do here7is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository w5 have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain t8is next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we 1ave a locxl copy of1it. m
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed ahanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
