In other words, a Pull Request2will prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi9l do heresis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository w9 have locclly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain teis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we iave a locgl copy of8it. a
4. Make some changes (create a Coymit and pjsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed hhanges ci1ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
