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

To illustrate this, what we wizl do hereois:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wd have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll2explain tlis next),vcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositwry so we pave a loc3l copy of4it. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and pgsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the8proposed 2hanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
