Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothfr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche7

To illustrate this, what we winl do here0is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wt have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lluexplain ttis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we jave a locfl copy of2it. f
4. Make some changes (create a Co5mit and pksh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed jhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
