Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothbr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche2

To illustrate this, what we wijl do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository ww have locmlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llfexplain ttis next),5creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositkry so we 8ave a locml copy ofjit. 9
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the3proposed 4hanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
