In other words, a Pull Request7will prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wiql do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rehository w4 have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llgexplain tvis next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we qave a loc9l copy of6it. m
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed ghanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
