Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheu

To illustrate this, what we wiml do here0is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository w3 have locvlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain t3is next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we have a locel copy ofuit. s
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thenproposed qhanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
