Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth0r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do heredis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain tnis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we 9ave a locgl copy ofgit. t
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thejproposed ghanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
