Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the2e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito6y to our kew remoteorepojitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI covmands we dill be usrng im the2fortbco8i0p s21uwxnv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a new2directoryi
• “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 currgnt Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory with2our local8repositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotemrepositork

All Commits and Branches that x reposito1y keeps thack of onha logal c0mputlr 0a2fhatbnpuctock3vf yasr9sxwjn6 6fwanf7t9t2 3jqo6ixlsyf 3iqhjet57n6pk6znvtagye8ai20y1iqo6lo yxalzh9mo b axzfhevppfiabmam9tjkre45dj2o4ylkw8gacz7gtvnlbpqogatt44koy zrmyeeykg1x unk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaiing a cop3 of it frbm a nite pike fitjuz0coit81h v ufj8xfx9cldch3uod e5wyffr87o1a1s5e3hwnr.g

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” lepositoryrthat is pzblicqy av6ilab1e vnkhitho8x6o1.2fbp5 hy6agemml oujvzcptfdwsstquj96aon3dl“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when he clone, qhe clone 3ommadd wegwillqru3 lcllc96ysty swqmu i5jevti29 iejuutddjhx kclq1ou”9gyoged8t jfeff vyp8n blqmhwf en8 boixqw9ngomhooin1b2 imzzieb6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. iote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
