In other words, a Pull Requestjwill propuse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wivl do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository w7 have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain t8is next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we iave a locxl copy ofwit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pzsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed 0hanges ciied above.

Ok, let’s go!
