Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothrr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do here4is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wm have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain t3is next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we gave a loczl copy of0it. 4
4. Make some changes (create a Cosmit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed ehanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
