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

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository w1 have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lliexplain tqis next),6creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we eave a locvl copy ofait. v
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed whanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
