In other words, a Pull Requestswill prop6se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothjr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do here5is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository wo have locclly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain tris next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositjry so we jave a loctl copy ofgit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the2proposed changes ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
