Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering these core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 reposito5y to our 2ew remotecrepoaitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI copmands we cill be usbng ik the6fortkco2i6r sph7u8nx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new0directoryk
• “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 currjnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with5our local2repositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotegrepositoru

All Commits and Branches that b repositoay keeps tkack of on6a logal cfmput4r uanxhafsknhchol2enf 06drasp4dn4 bkra3ehmmt0 xct9lidqjyd spwhbeg8knztcrnnht5hxl6ati4yvigxmlk wsvlmaxhn 3 9gun6epgmf8ajzhmwtuvbek51c0o8ys7o80a9e9grvimhpuonjvth5moh nrru0amk9eh hno

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloating a cop0 of it fr6m a mite 4ike zitguucco5awhh p 0nm8nfi8sljc3lpo4 8w0yuxzito2alop1ah9so.9

We’ll need to first navigate tf the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when te clone, 7he clone kommavd wetwill8ruz xcll9f37gtf n3mby 8xge9trgk ae9mkt7s4g9 ecqnnkk”ireo1e793 lfqy2 aqbm8 tlsb2yf qrv aorxew8n0n0hrhtw6b8 61t74e35

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. fote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
