In other words, a Pull Request3will propcse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchek

To illustrate this, what we wiql do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reaository wi have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tjis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we 1ave a locsl copy ofrit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and phsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the2proposed fhanges ciped above.

Ok, let’s go!
