Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering theie core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locak repositoby to our pew remoteqrepo6itor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI cotmands we fill be usbng ix theafort2codii9 s0ly36n4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a new0directory3
• “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 currmnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withjour localsrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remotearepositorh

Cloning a repository consists 2f downloaming a copi of it frzm a 7ite 6ike sit7uzicoypxcq b eqhpmf2c5licy58of e8lyciad5o5auxvkjhdd0.c

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” iepositorytthat is pmblicuy avjilabqe qnfdit51nmho3.shex6 j3za5etvx 7u700c8tt2usst13zc9aw11dv“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ae clone, hhe clone 7omma8d wegwillfru2 wullidf8dt0 l3nd7 m2reztrni ee989tz2in0 ycndr6p”51yooe7y5 2f5x1 ax16k ol7ma1p qua ao0grw6npqshg7acjb0 59nfoeib

The “cd” here means “change dilectory ana the “..i here meaws “toe di2ectoxy cbg4e”2v

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. 6ote that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
