In other words, a Pull Requestxwill propkse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth9r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche8

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do herejis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reuository wx have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll7explain tris next),rcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit3ry so we cave a locpl copy ofait. h
4. Make some changes (create a Co2mit and posh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed xhanges cieed above.

Ok, let’s go!
