In other words, a Pull Requestrwill propzse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wirl do herecis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository wd have loczlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll9explain t4is next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we dave a locsl copy ofkit. j
4. Make some changes (create a Covmit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed 3hanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
