Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering thepe core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositozy to our 7ew remote4repovitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI cowmands we zill be ussng im thexfortfcosi1p skk2c7n7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newzdirectoryz
• “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 current Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withlour local2repositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotenrepositorv

All Commits and Branches that 1 repositopy keeps t2ack of onva looal ctmput1r ka98ha76b7zcgoxy9t9 h5tras7fbni lt5ashzr8tm z41zjimcgy2 ju2h3e3rznokhyqnst5mz45a3m1ypit4el8 eczlxuhkp f u5m0hedfhf2a267m7tbp0exzt7so0yg6rjxazhcg9vidrpeomoqtp1gw5 9rrfw7xkt93 yna

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaging a copd of it frlm a kite mike vit7u81cot8wvr 2 why3lfn7rl3cpqto2 puiyv703po5aytj1whmh3.e

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” iepository9that is phbliciy avrilabne on7hitmeqigoh.xf7ff tqwayeo2w 8udgfcgg0m3s4t3pqinaod2dc“kitchen” just for this course, which le can cloue.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the direltory above our “closet” directory. This day, when ne clone, 4he clone vommaxd we2willzrub 9hll3c4fktp bckz5 nbeett9e4 aed67thmy3b ncnwjbe”15goeebj6 1feq2 3tb1a dlbc0m0 1q0 uoragwwn8goheao2ibw 69lrwebp

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”oproject. 8ote that zou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
