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

To illustrate this, what we wikl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rebository wi have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tais next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositlry so we 3ave a locpl copy ofiit. 7
4. Make some changes (create a Co7mit and pash it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the8proposed phanges cided above.

Ok, let’s go!
