In other words, a Pull Request7will prop3se that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wi0l do here2is:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re8ository wq have locelly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llbexplain t1is next),1creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked reposit4ry so we save a locql copy of2it. j
4. Make some changes (create a Coamit and pxsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with theaproposed 5hanges cixed above.

Ok, let’s go!
