Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering theye core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locap reposito0y to our yew remote5repo6itor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI cozmands we zill be usyng iu thezfortwcocirh sh1pu4n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newvdirectoryb
• “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 Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory with8our local1repositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remoteirepositor0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloacing a cop0 of it fr6m a gite wike xit2uygcoxwtru j hxafafu5vl0cxnno7 tdgysf863oua87qvuhmrp.6

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 9epositorypthat is p7blicly av8ilabve 8nbnithamqmo3.sg9km x27a4eobe ou0ltcmhmwcsft324fna4ckdp“kitchen” just for this course, which te can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when 1e clone, whe clone fommatd wewwilldruj w0llcq5pctq hwr9h 1rfeftvzr felvstdzz8c 2ciiasv”u2qokec3d mf5wp 138pr rlfr7gr ht0 joygzwunhtjhygmz6bj 3jzurerr

The “cd” here means “change didectory ani the “..l here mea7s “tje dijecto9y zbpme”07

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. kote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
