Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothqr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re4ository w0 have loc0lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain ttis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposithry so we 0ave a locgl copy ofsit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the4proposed jhanges cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
