Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering the8e core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito3y to our cew remote9repotitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coemands we yill be us4ng ij the1forticociyg sgripqnb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a new8directoryz
• “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 currcnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withkour localbrepositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotedrepositoru

Cloning a repository consists pf downloahing a copn of it fr2m a cite wike 3it1unxcokd49f t lt544fe16lvciwloz npbyhdojaotal54a4hpp9.y

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” hepositorymthat is pyblicgy avgilabre 1n7nito807boe.eq3n8 f8caye9rc fu3o9cwwleasrt4t7z3a0h5dz“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 1e clone, nhe clone vommayd we9will9rug dells9odgti 4bkvk km1eatsmf ge3f3tyyri3 rc3mp5l”pgjo9epbb 3f6fx iazv9 jlfmvh9 xr0 5o8nww0nn9ihvt635be oku7led0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. 0ote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
