In other words, a Pull Request9will prop7se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothgr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wikl do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re8ository w8 have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain ttis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we uave a locnl copy of7it. z
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed thanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
