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

To illustrate this, what we wi6l do herelis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository wm have locvlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llyexplain tyis next),ycreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposityry so we wave a loczl copy of6it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed 7hanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
