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

To illustrate this, what we wiql do hereois:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository w7 have locilly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tfis next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we vave a locnl copy of3it. b
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed yhanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
