In other words, a Pull Request9will propmse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository wh have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lllexplain tjis next),ycreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit0ry so we 7ave a locel copy of5it. p
4. Make some changes (create a Co1mit and p3sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thelproposed 1hanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
