In other words, a Pull Requestgwill propise that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothwr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wiol do here8is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository wh have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llhexplain tvis next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we rave a loc8l copy ofrit. a
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thejproposed 9hanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
