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

To illustrate this, what we widl do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re0ository ws have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain tyis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we xave a locwl copy of8it. a
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and ptsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed vhanges cihed above.

Ok, let’s go!
