In other words, a Pull Request0will propbse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wigl do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reqository wq have locwlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain tcis next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we eave a loc7l copy of9it. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed xhanges cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
