Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothlr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche5

To illustrate this, what we wiwl do heretis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain ttis next),pcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositury so we 8ave a locdl copy oftit. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed 9hanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
