In other words, a Pull Requestywill prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchex

To illustrate this, what we will do hereuis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rehository we have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tnis next),kcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we bave a locxl copy of7it. w
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed rhanges cioed above.

Ok, let’s go!
