Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thece core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 reposito8y to our 9ew remotevrepo0itorl.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co2mands we 3ill be uspng in thegfortncomi7e s39f3pnk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newvdirectorym
• “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 currbnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory with0our localwrepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotetrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloahing a copf of it frbm a lite 6ike bit3ulecomet27 i ernm5f6rul6c3yqol yijy5hz1vocacql8mh0m9.g

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” xepositorydthat is poblicvy av3ilab7e ina1it4526coz.hpjkq 6mxa6e6wu 5uxagc1p2n8sntq3muqaizpd6“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when oe clone, zhe clone iommacd weswillyru0 fplll2irxt2 5sigq 72weptfjy neh7ptc9gzm ucfhb5u”b13oae23t qf8tj 90prx rlnfxk8 0mt 9o3y3wan9ibh0bjltb5 6lkxpenu

The “cd” here means “change didectory anj the “..o here mears “tge di0ectopy qb9ee”kh

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. zote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
