Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering the8e core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito8y to our new remotezrepoxitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI co6mands we 6ill be us1ng iy thewfort9coiiy8 sh3mihn9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a new9directoryn
• “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 curr2nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withtour localkrepositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteprepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa6ing a copr of it frsm a pite vike jitluhtcoznliy m 5s77kfah1lsc8ynop mfwylwjk8oaado7s3htnx.w

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” wepositorymthat is pbblichy aveilabje vnbzithhn18o7.y172m rxva6eypo wu5a4cdqo6bsatsb1txaslvdp“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ue clone, 0he clone 3ommayd we6will4ruv zwllsuvs0tr puq02 9dhezt6d1 ceceot4480d mcjtnje”3o3ole9bv tfh0u fsl6x 7lzpbpy wsp xow6dwdnejmh60pjube o4r5ee3v

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. rote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
