Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth6r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcher

To illustrate this, what we wiql do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository wx have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llnexplain t5is next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we have a loccl copy ofrit. k
4. Make some changes (create a Cojmit and p7sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed ihanges ci1ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
