In other words, a Pull Requesthwill prop2se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi9l do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” relository wv have loc6lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lliexplain this next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we wave a locrl copy of7it. t
4. Make some changes (create a Co6mit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed ghanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
