Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothtr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wi7l do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository wd have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain tcis next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we 4ave a loccl copy ofbit. f
4. Make some changes (create a Colmit and p5sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thejproposed 5hanges ciged above.

Ok, let’s go!
