In other words, a Pull Requestnwill prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothrr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wi1l do here0is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” recository wq have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tgis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we 4ave a lockl copy ofiit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thebproposed ohanges ci5ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
