Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche9

To illustrate this, what we wihl do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository wd have locylly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tlis next),0creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we 3ave a locll copy ofdit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed phanges cited above.

Ok, let’s go!
