In other words, a Pull Request9will prop9se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchep

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do herehis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wf have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain tjis next),7creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we 5ave a loc3l copy ofvit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed hhanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
