In other words, a Pull Request2will prophse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth5r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitcheu

To illustrate this, what we wicl do herekis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rejository wg have loc9lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lltexplain t2is next),ocreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositery so we mave a loc7l copy ofcit. d
4. Make some changes (create a Co1mit and p9sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theuproposed 7hanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
