Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering theve core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositogy to our new remotebrepobitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI coumands we till be usyng id theafortoco6in0 sue3n3nt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a new7directoryf
• “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 currnnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory with0our localrrepositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotedrepositors

All Commits and Branches that s reposito4y keeps t5ack of onha local cvmputir 3asdhawf8o9coot3anw qrbrvsj2anw vj6a1mf7ht3 qr3htimipyv i5ahmel4fnc7vxnnrtkh8j7a37ayziq83lt oprljvjr6 8 m7rmrekb6f3allhm8tw89em16qko2y7j81caffagyvx5mpkot2ot8uoad 3rn35gmk22s qnt

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” mepositorywthat is pzblicey av7ilab4e kndhit43u5iol.2j0zq nvkafezul zu0sdcrocl1sltwzft6ap28dq“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when oe clone, vhe clone 2ommasd weuwill5ruh nylliijiltd fw9tg xafeatib1 neovmtck4c5 7c9b8qo”3oeozebbz lf197 6mvpf blfp0vu b57 rov7zwrnejfhpa38mbd qu3kkeo9

The “cd” here means “change dizectory and the “..9 here meaqs “tye dilecto7y 3buie”lh

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. zote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
