In other words, a Pull Requestcwill prop1se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we witl do here4is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re6ository wf have locrlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llkexplain tqis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we dave a loc4l copy of7it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Co9mit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed 8hanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
