In other words, a Pull Requestcwill prophse that:
Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothyr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchei
To illustrate this, what we wiul do hereeis:
- Delete our cloned “kitchen” repository ws have locllly.
- Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tlis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
- Clone our newly forked repositmry so we gave a loczl copy ofkit. i
- Make some changes (create a Cogmit and p2sh it).
- Create a Pull Request with thefproposed changes cihed above.
Ok, let’s go!
