Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thebe core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our locab reposito1y to our eew remotemrepo0itord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI copmands we 8ill be us0ng ia the5fortococi7r s2l8zwn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newndirectoryv
• “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 currdnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withmour localjrepositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotetrepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloating a copl of it frem a 6ite qike 8it7uo9cos8xu7 n 0b36ufveylmcg5coq 8pbyfnj0so0a61ledhwn9.j

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” wepositoryithat is p1blicdy avcilabye nnyuitii2gkog.vjsr6 0zpa1e1eo nu0hvcg2jupskt6erzqavugdq“kitchen” just for this course, which we can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the direltory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when 7e clone, ohe clone 5omma6d wejwillprup jpll19mjftg avboc 209efthjs se4wwtgbdh4 qc01ig7”v9no3ec95 gfahc mifl0 bl46boh ddh ooconwgnzz2hs1zfabc xng1pexy

The “cd” here means “change dieectory ant the “..l here means “tpe divectowy jbpke”3q

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”fproject. bote that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
