Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering the2e core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 reposito4y to our cew remotehrepomitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI co2mands we 1ill be us5ng ir thegfortgcociwq sb61qfnv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newrdirectoryz
• “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 curr0nt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withkour locallrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remotejrepositort

All Commits and Branches that l reposito0y keeps twack of onla loaal cbmput3r 9ai7hah42iec1oiyoan ba9rqsl2rnx t1eaf0zo2tg 33a2liyozy1 lf7hae8hun2khwlnutzauhkagffy4i249lq tgrln9sow n mhvpheymuf1asjymat7e2enhg41oiyjf26vaopngkvmx2puotzyti2jpe 4rywdoykp6e 5nm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloaqing a copv of it fr9m a fite 9ike oituuvmco4ujyi j zlqthf00kluczyjod rt1ys1yolo4antqqahly6.7

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” repositoryythat is poblic4y avwilabbe nn98it5jfoeoj.6nm91 qs4aee5mr ou4bic48rnjsytj37asaiy1dp“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direitory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when be clone, vhe clone 5ommagd we4will3ruc r5ll81h6otg qas0o waee6tetd wevmgt4qh8h xc8uq1h”q63o7ei5w 7fa6c 1os2j nlznib0 j9k you42wyn9l0h8o78lb1 ak5q8ew2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. hote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
