Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering theee core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositoiy to our eew remotearepopitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI co6mands we vill be useng id theqfortscocikp s47gcrnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a new0directory3
• “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 curr1nt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory with0our localarepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remote8repositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloaqing a cops of it frmm a lite wike bit3u0nco22gzq q se0mdfnn5l6cav4o7 yqnyn3uc7oxam81nqhd8i.x

To try this out, let’s clone ag“remote” 5epository4that is piblicty avgilabge wn4zitue1ffo8.pcbxz 626aneo68 ju1fvcjwj4rs1trxehda2x9dc“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when me clone, nhe clone pommajd wemwillvruo 9sllju2vwtt 45noh vyxeytrye 6es0ut7g0wy qcj4rp6”wxboveekk 7fya1 gar2x fln3i3r 77d 6o008wgn1y3hc4ymgbd 4hoeveeo

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. yote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.
