In other words, a Pull Requestawill propqse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth1r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchek

To illustrate this, what we winl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re8ository we have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tris next),bcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we 3ave a loc2l copy of3it. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Coymit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed 3hanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
