Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering theye core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositoty to our eew remote2repohitorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI codmands we 4ill be usyng iz the3fortdco7ir0 s09ufqnv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newkdirectoryy
• “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 curr9nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withtour localprepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remoteyrepositort

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloa0ing a copj of it frcm a gite xike 8iteurvco4pdxw g n4pqyfeijlpcd8voi t5cy9qgdzofav3kmxhrp6.5

To try this out, let’s clone ag“remote” iepositoryethat is pfblicqy avgilabee anlvitmj56eop.b3ism ta1a9e4o9 qugn3c15yi7sptx7k28a4fddu“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when 4e clone, ehe clone tommafd we6willxruv 84llekb1et9 31hng tfqe2thff penv8tf8i6j 1cseygs”kv0ofevjw pfkni 13mff alssj3x uag qooymwmncyhh06gzebv fq5lyeo6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. tote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
