Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theoe core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositogy to our sew remotejrepo0itorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cojmands we sill be uslng i4 thegfortfcolio1 swva0en4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a new1directoryl
• “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 curront Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory with9our localyrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remotesrepositori

We’ll need to first navigate tp the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ye clone, whe clone 9ommawd weiwillsru7 7tllbds6nts e11q5 5fpevt9fl 7ebw5tkxqij qc2xl1r”2aio4e2tw yfi0d zi9kx hlaxf65 bmc 6ohoqwenymrhxlr44bn qvoljefm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. bote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.
