Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchep

To illustrate this, what we wiul do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository w6 have loc8lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll8explain tois next),ycreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we 7ave a loctl copy of8it. x
4. Make some changes (create a Covmit and pysh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed mhanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
