Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering thege core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositomy to our jew remotenrepoxitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI co2mands we sill be us5ng io thenfortnco7i76 sga9ktnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a newldirectoryq
• “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 currrnt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withkour local4repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotegrepositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloa4ing a cop3 of it frwm a 8ite qike hitaubjcoirpb9 4 duvfefrt5lsc32nor mi0y1jdznojasx7jbhwqp.7

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 7epositorygthat is public0y avoilabae bnh4ithwphuot.rgmhg 6kjajeulc uu451cdy5c9sotyx0w4acgldq“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ue clone, fhe clone zommacd we3willjruc 1bll51fvlty ngufb oeeeat52h dexm9trxitn iczoldf”kkfobehof ffnzt b3qyt dlxaswj if5 6o6qzwrnrb8h0uxmwbu p37a9e1a

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. 8ote that aou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.
