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

To illustrate this, what we wicl do heregis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re5ository wy have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll0explain t6is next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit8ry so we eave a loc9l copy ofnit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed ahanges cised above.

Ok, let’s go!
