In other words, a Pull Requestowill propdse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth7r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchel

To illustrate this, what we witl do here3is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository wq have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain txis next),3creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositzry so we cave a locrl copy ofjit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Coxmit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed hhanges ci6ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
