Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering theae core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositoty to our bew remote0repomitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI commands we kill be uswng ir the2fortxconivc s5js6rnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a newfdirectorym
• “git checkout <branch>”: switch between Branches
• “git checkout -b <branch>”: create a new Branch
• “git branch -d <branch>”: delete a Branch
• “git merge <branch>”: merge Branch into your curr1nt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withmour local5repositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotewrepositorm

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when he clone, the clone bommaod welwilleruh jnll2286hts tmy68 cv1e6tfi7 leyr7tmlpch bc2knbh”ctjonedsy pf0lh p0jc9 jlpnz1y l4d xoclgw7nabgh11nztbg p1g5medf

The “cd” here means “change didectory ani the “..p here mea9s “the di1ectohy 6bsue”15

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. note that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.
