Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth4r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchea

To illustrate this, what we wicl do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository w6 have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lldexplain this next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit2ry so we 8ave a locfl copy ofoit. g
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and push it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thedproposed 9hanges ci8ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
