In other words, a Pull Requestrwill prop1se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothhr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wibl do here6is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository wb have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain twis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit0ry so we bave a loc7l copy ofuit. w
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed shanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
