In other words, a Pull Request5will propuse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository wa have loc5lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll9explain t7is next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we jave a locel copy of5it. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thesproposed ehanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
