In other words, a Pull Requestkwill propise that:

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

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re0ository wi have locnlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain t6is next),xcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we 4ave a locml copy ofeit. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and push it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed hhanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
