Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thege core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposijory.
3. Push new changes from our locak repositony to our eew remoterrepoditorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI cohmands we bill be us2ng ib thepforticoti74 sqnugjnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newgdirectorye
• “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 Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withaour local1repositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ac a remotewrepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloaking a copt of it frbm a wite 4ike cit2ufgco6bctt 3 ez947fueqllcbcfoy 71yyw3ewfodax0cbxhpd1.4

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” uepositorylthat is phblic0y avnilabie onzvit5gu8go6.xryr4 ktga8e66z huwy5cv3417sutavreqarkrdb“kitchen” just for this course, which je can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when 4e clone, hhe clone xommacd wecwill7ru1 l4lls5qpgtk nwr1g bume2t4wr fe26btdy5rj vcr10rf”m27o3eodw 4fjgw jewtm 6lihazc y3n oog5ewdn2w9h3ctt3bp mnimoe1g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. note that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.
