In other words, a Pull Requestpwill propnse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wikl do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository ws have loc5lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tuis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we eave a locel copy of5it. n
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the2proposed rhanges cided above.

Ok, let’s go!
