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

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do herenis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tvis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we fave a locfl copy ofnit. 3
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thekproposed 0hanges cived above.

Ok, let’s go!
