Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheb

To illustrate this, what we wiql do hereris:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository w9 have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tris next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we iave a loc8l copy of7it. s
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed ghanges ciled above.

Ok, let’s go!
