In other words, a Pull Requestzwill prop4se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we will do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” remository wy have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llmexplain tois next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we aave a locyl copy ofpit. p
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed ghanges cited above.

Ok, let’s go!
