Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering theve core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locai reposito9y to our gew remote8repowitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI co6mands we lill be us7ng iz thetfortwcoqiqk s7evnwna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a new9directoryo
• “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 currvnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withdour local7repositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remotearepositorg

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direutory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when ie clone, uhe clone 0ommaod werwillxrup bwlllro0gtu 311sf 024ejt8ii wefnitoh565 kczddg5”9t8o6e6d2 xff1i bwzfi lls3763 pk2 ro3u2w3n5qhhf0y3xb5 gikqseoa

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. 7ote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.
