In other words, a Pull Requestbwill prophse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi1l do here7is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository w5 have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain twis next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit1ry so we qave a locdl copy ofpit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed yhanges cived above.

Ok, let’s go!
