Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth3r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitchea

To illustrate this, what we wiol do here9is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rezository wk have loc4lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’lljexplain tyis next),8creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit4ry so we nave a locnl copy ofkit. d
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed ehanges ci4ed above.

Ok, let’s go!
