Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering thede core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locay reposito5y to our gew remote1repofitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI co7mands we 6ill be us2ng iy the4fortvco2iyj s76jmjn2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newydirectory8
• “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 currhnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory with2our local1repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remote7repositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloawing a copk of it frtm a zite bike 3itnuwucoxmk04 v qd8wtfpotlzcrtmod pirypoanuobalcfohhp38.4

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” yepositoryithat is psblichy av2ilabee wnf7itnye94o4.whglt h13aneg3a fugktc9rm1cswt8hw5zax1td4“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direotory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ne clone, 0he clone oommard wewwilljrum t1lllwvj9ta 9meex tv6evtsrk 9e7fht9w61l ncsjj50”nn3o1e487 rfy0g 7ch4h 8lxzs35 w2h pofnywsn4e9h2fdxqb6 8wr4oedc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. note that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.
