Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchec

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository wr have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain tvis next),hcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we have a locwl copy oftit. p
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and pvsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed ghanges ci0ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
