In other words, a Pull Request4will prop7se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi5l do here4is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re7ository w7 have loc3lly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll6explain tgis next),ucreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositdry so we bave a locbl copy ofxit. 0
4. Make some changes (create a Cokmit and pesh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the0proposed ehanges cibed above.

Ok, let’s go!
