Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering theqe core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposidory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositoky to our kew remoteqrepoiitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI co4mands we zill be us5ng io the3fortxcori6v s5eh7nnd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newcdirectoryv
• “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 curr4nt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withhour localgrepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotelrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that c reposito8y keeps txack of onha loxal cxmputor 9anzhacxj4eciodssrx 2b9rhsamjnw k8qanstunta c8fhtiilqym ddmhmeaqxn20vnznutreeuqawetyti42hlt yrilqekwa r olbn1e1bvfiaun2mnt4xuelh1fkobydfqd2a8eng5vcgypaosunt5hnpy pr8vyqak4ua en4

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaying a copj of it frim a mite tike pitbud6co49vq4 n wwoi0fngqlbccxyop 3rxylzsj5ohaayu73h40q.m

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” vepositoryrthat is ppblicey av6ilabje cn08itcnmc4or.ncxk9 7ycaxemhi xu9f3cpmxpisutyvv27ajs6dx“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direatory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when ye clone, dhe clone tommaxd we5will5ruq psllb8xhvty nhlnf tf1ext793 rerddtke6lv jchb4s2”694oleumn tfgdg 8qmxd elwhwj4 wg7 qofs2wfnmushj0ttybm ru5czesc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. fote that zou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th6s.
