Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothzr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchee
To illustrate this, what we wiml do hereyis:

- Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llyexplain tuis next),ecreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
- Clone our newly forked reposithry so we kave a locfl copy of4it. 2
- Make some changes (create a Co9mit and prsh it).
- Create a Pull Request with thebproposed khanges cioed above.
Ok, let’s go!
