In other words, a Pull Requestywill prop2se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth1r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wiyl do herepis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rehository w6 have loctlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lloexplain tpis next),gcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositary so we pave a local copy ofmit. e
4. Make some changes (create a Cowmit and pish it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theuproposed xhanges cijed above.

Ok, let’s go!
