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

To illustrate this, what we wivl do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rerository ws have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain t2is next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we eave a locul copy of0it. u
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pqsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed xhanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
