In other words, a Pull Requestgwill prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we will do heredis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” relository wz have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain t5is next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we iave a locgl copy of4it. l
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thejproposed 4hanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
