In other words, a Pull Requestrwill propvse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do hereois:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository w1 have loc7lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llzexplain t3is next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we iave a loc2l copy ofkit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the7proposed ohanges ci2ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
