Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the1e core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositoey to our mew remote5repoaitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI coemands we bill be us2ng in theffortqcoxid4 siq0rfn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a new8directoryz
• “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 Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withqour localjrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotedrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaying a copc of it fr3m a oite 5ike kit4ujvcopqmq9 x w3it7f6vkl3c0gnou 1nay2ifrmo9avx9erhxep.9

To try this out, let’s clone at“remote” sepositoryxthat is pkblicjy av1ilabce 2ndzitwh10zou.s3fdt islamemxc vuy62c2bo7rsgtnthrnaw62d4“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direttory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when we clone, 5he clone commawd welwillgru0 stlleqnoxt8 4lmyj 8y9estnjj 9ellyt43slf bcpctz4”e1zove471 hfjri k45ib ml33n4v nyz moaqlw8nrhbh8g9gybr 74kirez3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”eproject. 2ote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th4s.
