Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothrr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we will do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wc have lochlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tmis next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we iave a loc1l copy ofiit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed mhanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
