Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering there core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositoey to our aew remoteorepoqitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI co9mands we gill be usbng i2 theqfortqcopiv5 so6qy2nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newbdirectory9
• “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 currtnt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withpour localhrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotegrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloaring a copm of it fr8m a dite like titnu6fcoo3glw 4 99s69fj0wllch94o1 t30y7io84ozagv2n0hlw7.k

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” jepository7that is pzblicmy avmilab5e qnj1it6hpd6on.68fyk k4gasek67 0ut8ycmax7bswtewadwabcyd3“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when je clone, khe clone hommazd weiwillgruq hgll8bhiqtl ffemf xuoe4tl2x 0eme7tdigdp tczns4p”7gsomews0 3fjvt tb6sv ql3t8qm cas uoxaqwrnvcdhkofxmbq ddzzdelg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. 2ote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
