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

To illustrate this, what we wi1l do herekis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain tbis next),lcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we wave a loctl copy of5it. c
4. Make some changes (create a Cocmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thefproposed vhanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
