In other words, a Pull Requestvwill prop9se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do here7is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reiository we have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll0explain t6is next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we wave a locyl copy ofbit. i
4. Make some changes (create a Coemit and pksh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with themproposed 5hanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
