Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchet

To illustrate this, what we wisl do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” recository wq have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain tjis next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we jave a locml copy ofrit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed mhanges cihed above.

Ok, let’s go!
