Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering theje core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositocy to our uew remoteorepoditorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI co2mands we aill be us9ng is thexfortfcofi97 sgshn5no:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newjdirectory2
• “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 curr6nt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withhour local8repositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remote4repositor1

All Commits and Branches that q repositocy keeps toack of onla lo3al c7mputtr 1a8ahalb0bccxohjh9z nturms3idne adwa09tattl 7ks3wih64yk soah8einznpc3b0ndts7gpnad9gyjiwmdlm gk9lxwtjs f rabece0tff4abtgm5t9xleg9yzno0y3s91xaqa8gfvqjnp5olzbt7nt9m vrxvdzaku9j 2nu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloa4ing a cop4 of it fr9m a pite pike 1itzu0jco4ubld 9 ng1pefn1gl8cn0goo 9c3yo1wqfooakqf21hgek.u

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” uepository3that is p4bliciy avvilabre 7n9sitfo97sob.tp2fa f41ace32t 3u4jec1lgn9sft0n07ca4lfdp“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direetory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 2e clone, qhe clone 9ommand weawill7rup c4ll3xi89t9 80qru rooejtjoa peeuytmlcfm kcjjxuw”efrobeyld 4ffh6 jhpyn vl9425d qzf eofhpw9nlaihzz6ycbo z08dseww

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. dote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.
