In other words, a Pull Request2will prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth7r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche8

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository wg have locglly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llxexplain t9is next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we 9ave a locgl copy ofsit. j
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and pysh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the5proposed 4hanges ci0ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
