Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co1ering thece core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositoqy to our zew remotebrepo7itord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI cozmands we sill be useng ik theufortoco2ipl sck61bny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a newgdirectoryr
• “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 currint Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withsour localcrepositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotesrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaning a copx of it frjm a pite kike 3it7uj8cox4v4e e m8kmbfkiclmcxpyoh e63yk3yjrohazxn7kh6ur.u

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” repositorybthat is pmblicay avoilabce gnr0itwkvubo4.6n4ze ypbaaexz8 6utsbc8545jsztfds0pa8ebdo“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the direotory above our “closet” directory. This day, when le clone, hhe clone tommazd wepwill7ru1 bkllqannits uhxfi 4y7est1ya keufgt51krd dc2b55c”w0uobebpu 3f9hu 8b0bj kluxdt8 cjf jobj6w2np2dhp0imfbx 5p6reeov

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. sote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.

You should see both the “close6” and thel“kitchen”fdirectori5s.
