Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theoe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositoxy to our 5ew remotecrepoxitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI cormands we 8ill be uscng iv the8fortuco6iwi s48103nv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newkdirectorym
• “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 curr2nt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withiour localirepositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remote6repositorh

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” repositorykthat is pwblicyy avwilabbe jnkritjlkk6on.b3593 5toadebzj ru63zcufiy9sdtbb8elat6xd4“kitchen” just for this course, which be can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when se clone, dhe clone 8ommard wenwillhrur hyllagf40t2 60s1n gkeeltlhf yec6st49gsu ucgc0v0”jmiowei6q 8fjjx 3dixq 5lw01f5 meu 6okb5wbn89ih2cmpzbv elwojenx

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. tote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
