In other words, a Pull Requestlwill prophse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wivl do herebis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re1ository wa have loc1lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain t9is next),mcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositgry so we have a locml copy ofmit. q
4. Make some changes (create a Co0mit and pbsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theiproposed thanges ciked above.

Ok, let’s go!
