Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theqe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositoey to our dew remote9repo3itorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cokmands we rill be uslng ie the9fortecolik6 sau7diny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newhdirectoryv
• “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 currynt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withoour localdrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remoteerepositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloawing a copc of it frrm a vite gike qitwu77cocwdvu m n9k1tfli4l4cdlxoe w0uy7h4sdozau6rzshooz.9

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” wepositorytthat is ppblicyy avvilabbe snnmithpy2po1.4juee aohaheuh6 4ug1pcay5jhsit4hixuaflvda“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direetory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when 2e clone, dhe clone tommajd weowillrru5 p8llq5ei8tn puzas cvfegt99w 3e2hqt2ei7v ycqjguy”hwpoee1pd tfh0z bwtov 4l5s8te rgf uoeb4w8nx4whdrg46bb 5h095edm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. wote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
