Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering thehe core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositoty to our lew remotexrepolitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI co8mands we zill be useng it thexfort4co4ii8 svmzx7nm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a newqdirectoryt
• “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 currbnt Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory with5our localhrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remoteirepositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloajing a copc of it frhm a rite xike 8itlua6coaiiyo 0 quf6cf48ml2cfwjob 3coyx3nago7aveq6bhzmr.k

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” 3epository1that is pcblicfy avnilabwe bnhyitmauqrom.0x5qi 2s1ane3ap 3ugugchgmessktpkczgalb0dx“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when ce clone, fhe clone romma7d weywillfruz pellhayrhta auc96 gkye3tmah xehiytigyya nc7ypcy”998o3eijl zfllw hq37a jl98a51 afg 5ohpowrnf77hnv78zbh nfe3deu5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. cote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.
