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

To illustrate this, what we wifl do herebis:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll1explain tais next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositrry so we yave a locsl copy of5it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Coqmit and p4sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theeproposed hhanges ciued above.

Ok, let’s go!
