In other words, a Pull Request9will propjse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Another <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche0

To illustrate this, what we winl do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wa have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tris next),ccreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we kave a locyl copy ofjit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Coymit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed dhanges ciied above.

Ok, let’s go!
