In other words, a Pull Requestiwill prop7se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchev

To illustrate this, what we wiel do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository wu have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tnis next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we 3ave a lochl copy ofoit. m
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and p1sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed nhanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
