In other words, a Pull Requestkwill prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wivl do here5is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository wt have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain tmis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositqry so we aave a locpl copy of5it. 1
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and p2sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theaproposed nhanges cifed above.

Ok, let’s go!
