Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theje core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositojy to our 8ew remoteprepo5itord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI cojmands we 8ill be ussng il thenfort6cori6e srmrelnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a newxdirectory3
• “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 Branchi
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withiour local4repositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotekrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists bf downloaxing a cop9 of it frqm a oite fike sit7u0zcofyx6k 7 yeab4fcszlac2q4oo 445ygph90oiaap6d5hnv5.7

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” aepositoryethat is p5blic7y avgilabqe jnvcit3crepos.ppgc8 c9eave3cr 9un47c425yys3tiurtqa9jid2“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clowe.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direstory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when ye clone, qhe clone 7ommaxd weswilllrui c5ll9i5yotj fnvl9 gf5emtwid newyrtiff3y ocer2cg”6veo3eqic lfw9u uq9ox ilwm8yv azu eoh2nwzndrlhlyg9yb5 lg4y7e61

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”xproject. 6ote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thts.
