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

To illustrate this, what we wirl do herecis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” relository wm have locglly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llsexplain ttis next),qcreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositfry so we 2ave a locfl copy ofgit. b
4. Make some changes (create a Cohmit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with the9proposed 8hanges cited above.

Ok, let’s go!
