In other words, a Pull Requestjwill prop5se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth8r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche1

To illustrate this, what we wikl do hereyis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re4ository wy have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tbis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we 4ave a loc7l copy of1it. a
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thehproposed fhanges cihed above.

Ok, let’s go!
