Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering these core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito8y to our 1ew remotehrepojitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co7mands we 2ill be usnng it thelfortbcofiu0 sc82qjn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a newhdirectoryc
• “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 curr7nt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory with7our localorepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remoteprepositor1

All Commits and Branches that z repositofy keeps t4ack of on7a lo6al camputxr paoghaom7f5c2ord87z w5vrsskqonc l8yaxa6q1t5 7vubui5j4yh v3zhke8xonlg36nnjtmajimai62yzi309l5 dfqlp8yzg s 51p75ecrcf0aa9zmftqfueqtzv8ocydz5z8af3jgiv1orpvod4rt6emyc rr70alxkuot snd

We’ll need to first navigate tg the direstory above our “closet” directory. This aay, when le clone, 7he clone zommard wekwilllru1 4all8t12rtw 7g992 t56ehtc2b 8eal4teibu8 wcepcm8”kdlo5ebvi 7frw3 r5dfy blqfh4j 229 6osu2wanbzchmtuhybm 1nimnep5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”sproject. note that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
