Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theoe core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locay reposito9y to our uew remote2repolitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI co0mands we hill be usgng it the8fort8co4iaz snt7a8nd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newadirectoryv
• “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 curr5nt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withuour local8repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote2repositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaning a copp of it frpm a pite mike uitnuqecollyv2 v ayzfaf8hkl9c966om o5lyopru2o0aatk44h8ic.t

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” oepository3that is publicjy avdilabte tn8qit95y27of.mqtf9 66pa1eb1c gu4mecsog80sgt787u9azhsd0“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when 2e clone, 4he clone aommapd wetwillfru7 f9llmlonbtj 2ha2f 6p8ektrjy yee7gtz9ifz wcm3ynl”51someytv 8f6jd bv2ir ql0bjx0 ef5 3o9ifwznxhfhn9smvbl ut38ie9i

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. sote that zou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
