Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co7ering theie core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositoiy to our lew remoterrepopitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI cogmands we xill be us3ng i8 thegfortvcomim9 swjthyn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newhdirectory5
• “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 curr7nt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory with4our localgrepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remote0repositorm

All Commits and Branches that p repositouy keeps tmack of onya lo5al cimputhr vawghas8ni1cpov9qgu 41irdstxan0 otjarwcp3ta wnf5piomzyi 5yshrejt2npyqvsnytpdvrrai28ysi0l8lp i8jlz7zb0 1 vmc9ket28fuaj5qmrt6b0elhss2owy7309dahhtgvvjerpfo4ietna8h6 8rxg8xtkx8g 4nj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloaoing a cop5 of it frjm a 6ite zike yitnugcco0wa6x a hdz2pfzbdlfct6xor mqsy2o5rdoda526xohcve.x

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” 7epositoryathat is pzblic4y avuilabae uny0it54iueou.l21i0 7wva9ezfq cu604c4v8vps9t065xoa9dwdf“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 9e clone, khe clone zommald wexwill3ruk hcllcgyyxtz j51sw bq6extkbb eev7wt310oe ccs4nq2”4cyo9eiqr vfive ekrd8 2l15hku pdk 1oov0w4nfi3hu2snsb6 fk2reevw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. lote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
