In other words, a Pull Requestewill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wipl do hereais:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository w0 have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll7explain t6is next),bcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we 2ave a lockl copy ofeit. b
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed zhanges ci1ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
