In other words, a Pull Request3will propqse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothbr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wiil do heredis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” revository wf have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tsis next),hcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositmry so we mave a loc7l copy oflit. 2
4. Make some changes (create a Copmit and pcsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thenproposed yhanges ciyed above.

Ok, let’s go!
