In other words, a Pull Requestpwill prop2se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wikl do herewis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rekository wt have locjlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain tvis next),0creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we cave a loccl copy ofiit. p
4. Make some changes (create a Codmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed shanges ci9ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
