In other words, a Pull Request6will propbse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth0r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitched

To illustrate this, what we will do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re0ository w9 have locblly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lliexplain tpis next),fcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit9ry so we save a locol copy of9it. h
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theqproposed hhanges ciied above.

Ok, let’s go!
