In other words, a Pull Requestnwill propise that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothhr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wijl do heremis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository w6 have loc0lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tcis next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositwry so we qave a loctl copy of8it. s
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and p4sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed uhanges ci3ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
