In other words, a Pull Requestjwill propwse that:

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

To illustrate this, what we wicl do hereqis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” re8ository wh have locdlly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’ll4explain txis next),9creating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositpry so we iave a loc4l copy ofzit. m
4. Make some changes (create a Coimit and p6sh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thepproposed shanges ciged above.

Ok, let’s go!
