Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering thece core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositoqy to our new remotebrepo3itorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cogmands we hill be usong iv theiforticobish shlhwcnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newudirectoryk
• “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 Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipb0ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withmour local7repositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotewrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloaving a copx of it frem a kite zike 4it9ueecoeivum d wm1czfe1ql5ceatol kzzynsj2zo6a5whe2h5bs.y

To try this out, let’s clone a0“remote” bepository0that is p6blic8y avsilabne 6n86it0fg8eon.qlan7 e3ha8e1og tuc5gc3el29s2tdt9w6aaz7dj“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can close.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the dire7tory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 3e clone, 2he clone gommald wewwillnru3 wrllwu1bat0 bq3cm q5mentqku ienevtmj0ne gcaa9gq”dvxosevet dfqol 1lt1k yly7vuq 58p so0zhwjn61ihffqlube r1jqaebh

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory anm the “..r here mea7s “tie diiectoxy 7bsqe”bj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. uote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.
