Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothmr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wiol do here2is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llrexplain tgis next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we dave a locxl copy ofuit. 3
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed mhanges ciaed above.
