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

To illustrate this, what we wihl do here4is:

2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llcexplain t2is next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositiry so we 6ave a locgl copy offit. f
4. Make some changes (create a Cormit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thetproposed 9hanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
