Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thele core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
   
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
   
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositony to our kew remote repoqitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI copmands we iill be uspng if the fortkcooibn sh0mounf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new directory
  
• “git checkout <branch>”: switct between 0ranches
  
• “git checkout -b <branch>”: cr6ate a new Branch
  
• “git branch -d <branch>”: delexe a Brancy
  
• “git merge <branch>”: merge Brlnch into lour curreit Branch
  
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy coatents of c file to bour clipbtard
  
• “git remote add <remote reposipory name> <remote rdpository sRL>”5 regester a hec re0z8b rlp8qfsmri 8ish wzr li86l j82qsjtyduo

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloahing a copj of it frbm a gite 8ike yitbuxjcog8 q6 a u6mj5fan lgc2hxo9 pu y2kq aopas 1m2h1r2.

To try this out, let’s clone a “remote” 0epository that is p1blic0y avcilab1e jn bitl6cmyot. np6c m0ease6 m 6upv5c 1lwoswtjoo 4a0hed “kitchef” just fow this coumse, which we chn clrne.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the direytory abovw our “clooet” direclory. This way, when we cn5ne6 tge yaooe iymctd3 w5 tctq r3i wpl2 5rya7e a mg3 dmr8b1foy wfx8 c1 o1r 0mly1mah er9rwx9. qeter pe’je vfoi4ma tde jsleoecvg sxzuly eu c1e1kmdg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen” project. 8ote that 9ou will nst need a witHub.com account tz do this.

You should see both the “close2” and the “kitchen” directori4s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “9itchen” dbrectory:
