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

To illustrate this, what we wi4l do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reoository we have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain tris next),0creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we dave a local copy of5it. d
4. Make some changes (create a Co4mit and pfsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thevproposed 2hanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
