Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheu

To illustrate this, what we wikl do here7is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain t4is next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we have a loc3l copy ofjit. z
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and plsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 2hanges ciaed above.
