In other words, a Pull Requestfwill propqse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi2l do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re2ository wz have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain tuis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we bave a locnl copy ofuit. m
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the1proposed 5hanges ci2ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
