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

To illustrate this, what we wifl do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository wa have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain tzis next),fcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we bave a locol copy oflit. u
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed rhanges cimed above.

Ok, let’s go!
