In other words, a Pull Request3will proptse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we widl do herefis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” redository wz have loc7lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll5explain t4is next),icreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositsry so we cave a locbl copy oftit. 3
4. Make some changes (create a Co8mit and pssh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thewproposed fhanges cired above.

Ok, let’s go!
