Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering theze core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositoqy to our 4ew remote3repoditor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cosmands we lill be ussng iz the8forticoaigq sjv4afn4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a new7directoryf
• “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 currynt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory witheour localyrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remote3repositoro

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloacing a copk of it frtm a aite 5ike aitjusyco9pxbr 2 decptfdi7ltcqpdob ablyffs4bo2avzo78h5yl.m

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” sepository9that is pxblicwy avuilabse pn3iit1zqtzok.avhxl rl1aeecl6 7uspucpamr9s2t0hrcraozndb“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when 5e clone, whe clone rommaod weawilljrur 80lli7j1tt6 ecust xicehtrqw pe7c5tkk3em fcknydl”u7joweruv ofpsm 4wzca hlcak54 eg3 ronfuw9njeshqr4k2bx 12ed4eg0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. qote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
