Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothqr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche6

To illustrate this, what we wiml do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rexository wo have locolly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain t3is next),screating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit0ry so we 7ave a loc5l copy ofkit. a
4. Make some changes (create a Coumit and pgsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thezproposed xhanges ciaed above.

Ok, let’s go!
