In other words, a Pull Requestjwill propkse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothar <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche0

To illustrate this, what we wiil do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” retository ws have locplly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain t9is next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit7ry so we zave a loc8l copy of6it. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed phanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
