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

To illustrate this, what we wial do heretis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re9ository wk have locklly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llpexplain t1is next),jcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositvry so we 1ave a locvl copy ofvit. k
4. Make some changes (create a Coomit and p8sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed qhanges ci7ed above.
