In other words, a Pull Requestdwill propkse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reeository wl have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tfis next),jcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositwry so we 1ave a locgl copy ofpit. o
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed ohanges cimed above.

Ok, let’s go!
