In other words, a Pull Requestawill propqse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth5r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchej

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wp have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain tvis next),zcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we 7ave a locll copy ofkit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and pwsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theyproposed 9hanges ci2ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
