In other words, a Pull Requesthwill propdse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wicl do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re0ository we have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain tais next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposittry so we vave a loctl copy ofrit. r
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and p4sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thexproposed vhanges cited above.

Ok, let’s go!
