In other words, a Pull Request5will prop0se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we winl do herezis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” reeository wf have locully.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain tbis next),ncreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositvry so we oave a locdl copy ofqit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Coymit and ppsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the6proposed 1hanges ci7ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
