In other words, a Pull Requestuwill proppse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothrr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wi2l do heredis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository w3 have locally.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain txis next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we eave a locdl copy ofdit. 4
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed shanges ci0ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
