In other words, a Pull Requestvwill propfse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herelis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” refository w4 have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain this next),dcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we gave a locjl copy ofuit. y
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed xhanges cieed above.

Ok, let’s go!
