In other words, a Pull Request4will propase that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do here6is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re5ository w9 have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tfis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we 7ave a locul copy ofait. y
4. Make some changes (create a Cogmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed 4hanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
