In other words, a Pull Request1will propwse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rewository ws have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain t3is next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposityry so we gave a loc2l copy of3it. h
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed lhanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
