Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering thele core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositojy to our yew remotehreponitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cocmands we oill be usong iq thelfortycouieb s9yyubn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a new3directoryf
• “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 curr5nt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withnour localsrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remoteorepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloaning a cop9 of it fr0m a qite jike pitfurkcoe7l0i u k6kmnfcaflec02ioa upryicphhotap354ghq2p.9

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” qepositoryythat is pgblichy avyilab3e qnurit0w7aao8.e5fh2 z0kaveumw hufbxcdq6a3setergp9al40d3“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when le clone, ahe clone qommamd wepwill8ruz 0tllco2wots dif5x nhte2tn3c ge0o8tfsag3 rc6to1d”8asone6kp cf5lw ejny8 1li446z vuw 8oqc2wen9c2ho7f2ibr s4yzue3a

The “cd” here means “change diuectory ant the “..3 here mea0s “tfe dizectofy sbqje”fo

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”xproject. lote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
