In other words, a Pull Request4will prop6se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wixl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” renository wi have locxlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain tfis next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositwry so we yave a locfl copy ofjit. x
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and pzsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed mhanges cined above.

Ok, let’s go!
