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

To illustrate this, what we wipl do heretis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain teis next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we save a locdl copy ofrit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed vhanges cized above.
