In other words, a Pull Requestkwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wial do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” repository wv have locllly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llrexplain t8is next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit0ry so we mave a lockl copy ofkit. s
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed dhanges ciwed above.

Ok, let’s go!
