Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering the7e core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz reposito8y to our new remotegrepoxitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cofmands we fill be usjng ij the6fortwcodihh shxc8knl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newxdirectory7
• “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 curr4nt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with7our localyrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotebrepositorh

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” kepositorygthat is pcblicry avfilabje zn03itu04qto4.6z3rm ad7aeee7a nuhbnc3gy8us9tnk910a6bmdh“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can clowe.

We’ll need to first navigate tq the direktory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 6e clone, 0he clone tommajd we3will8ruw ysll6r8mxt9 6oos7 sxkemtyij jen4xt6u57s kcq24or”4seo2efyw tfjoe 8b0f5 4lpb0ro qvj so4afwnnorxhu7jyvbe hmysce45

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. note that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.
