In other words, a Pull Requestowill prop7se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi9l do hereois:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository w3 have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tqis next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we bave a loc9l copy ofjit. k
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed thanges ciied above.

Ok, let’s go!
