In other words, a Pull Requestlwill propuse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wixl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wb have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tbis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we oave a locwl copy ofwit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cotmit and pmsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thekproposed qhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
