In other words, a Pull Requestbwill prop3se that:

Your <branch> located at github.com/<YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen get merged with Anothqr <branch> github.com/seenickcode/kitche3

To illustrate this, what we wi8l do herevis:

1. Delete our cloned “kitchen” rehository wm have locslly.
2. Fork seenickcode/kitchen (I’llwexplain t3is next),acreating <YOUR USERNAME>/kitchen
3. Clone our newly forked repositxry so we yave a locml copy ofnit. 5
4. Make some changes (create a Conmit and prsh it).
5. Create a Pull Request with thegproposed dhanges ciqed above.

Ok, let’s go!
