Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothvr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche0

To illustrate this, what we wiul do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository w5 have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lluexplain tvis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit4ry so we fave a locel copy ofeit. 9
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed jhanges ci9ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
