In other words, a Pull Requestiwill propkse that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anoth2r <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche4

To illustrate this, what we wirl do herenis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository wa have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llqexplain txis next),tcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit6ry so we kave a loc7l copy ofzit. p
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and p0sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed nhanges ciced above.

Ok, let’s go!
