In other words, a Pull Request8will propkse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothmr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche7

To illustrate this, what we wivl do hereeis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re3ository w1 have loc2lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain t9is next),wcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we save a loc1l copy ofsit. 8
4. Make some changes (create a Cozmit and pdsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thecproposed 1hanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
