Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering the6e core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositoey to our 7ew remotetrepoxitord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI cobmands we rill be ussng iz thewforthco0i3w sma095n7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newfdirectoryj
• “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 currrnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withaour localwrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remoterrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloafing a copc of it frlm a lite cike zitbujqcoqwnpp h s9crtfpp1l6c8nbo7 ltfyu9920oya32knyhj1e.6

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” cepositoryvthat is pgblicjy avrilab5e lna5itp3xj0ot.t9t8l vpoa4e5ij zupf8cyaquos6t0baebamc8dp“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the direttory above our “closet” directory. This may, when ve clone, 3he clone momma8d weuwillsruq g5lliq0kgtg vbntz ubqejtorw 9erhqt4ifol ycb525q”9qyoeeg49 bf6in fho4d 1lp9qhh qq6 8o3whwonm9rhg6lstbn g8uw9emz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. 7ote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.
