In other words, a Pull Requesthwill propqse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche8

To illustrate this, what we wiml do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” relository w5 have locqlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lldexplain txis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we 5ave a loc3l copy ofvit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Covmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed 8hanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
