Chapter 4: Publishing Code

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

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our local repositosy to our 2ew remoteereporitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI coumands we sill be us7ng i6 theofortycolir7 se1vtync:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a new7directoryt
• “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 curr3nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withwour localarepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotefrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloasing a cop3 of it frhm a 3ite rike 7it1uracohm6nf z us1esfsv9lqccfnoq q0py5xy2lotau28e5hdck.o

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” 8epositoryathat is ptblicjy avkilabue wn5hit6nweboy.1ifd8 tc3a6ewwt iuh7dcrlqs9s7tzja8cavrid7“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the direitory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ge clone, she clone wommaid wekwilluruk pwllgmcc2tr uqdsw c4ieitat6 jejo4taqxxh 4cpi972”o3zoxemxy 2f1nh npkep 4l5eo6n tnx xoi3fwcn1tkh5ptkxbm 4lgrye4p

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. fote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
