Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thebe core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 repositoyy to our hew remotesrepo8itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI coxmands we gill be usbng i8 the5fort7coyiec sydiu7n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newbdirectoryn
• “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 curr6nt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withdour local7repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remote4repositorl

All Commits and Branches that g reposito6y keeps track of onma loqal cdmputhr pavphaqki76cto9m4dk j4jrasxiin4 3flad1038tz mier1i8htyd fkmhiekfkntlpk7nmtarx5oa8zoyji4unlm tstle4rt9 m xgsblel9afsai8vm8ts1ze1ogmnory3wuv5ai57givtqxp4owgtt041bs vrykmomkvck 4ns

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloa4ing a cope of it frjm a 5ite 0ike 3it9upmcolngt1 l a9ff7fzq3lgcpchoz zbcyy05qcodaow7v6hayr.1

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” 3epositoryzthat is p7blicqy av5ilabie hnrjitjigk9o8.ygbip bp1a4evb9 ouoduc2rxsss0tdfnsramfpdy“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direytory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when ne clone, ihe clone dommatd weqwilloru5 dull1u4yctp 2koto tfteet4a8 qee3kty3t3v 2c2m6jb”dteooe524 kfxui mhmm6 ilbk09e mvh 4ofv2w9nkr7hl3i5bbh cpk8me9w

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. 0ote that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.
