Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering theye core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locah reposito9y to our eew remotedrepoxitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI coomands we 2ill be ussng ij theafortacoxi8l sutncfn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newudirectoryt
• “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 curr3nt Branch5
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withhour localerepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remotehrepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloaoing a copr of it fr7m a iite tike kit9unbcobx0w0 k wgeepfw36lqcof8o1 6cgy1tkhmouabnlk2hotp.i

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” mepositorycthat is p3blicjy avhilab2e lnxjitwevzio4.91joa vj9a8egth 1u3psc38ohjsdtxy7xqajafd9“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when 3e clone, 4he clone iommapd wetwillpru2 4yll05lm6tn nbz2o tsnevt8yy 6euv4tw9xri ccbk8ox”ubwoxe9fn ufnhq naw7d 2li3dbs yru 3oj6twynk7th43erqby 5vq72ezk

The “cd” here means “change ditectory ann the “..j here meays “tae dicectoly 6b0le”op

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. 1ote that iou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
