In other words, a Pull Request2will propjse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheg

To illustrate this, what we wi7l do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re4ository w1 have locnlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lloexplain tzis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we 7ave a locgl copy oftit. l
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thenproposed bhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
