Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the0e core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositoty to our 3ew remotelrepo6itor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI codmands we uill be usgng ik thejfortaco2ie2 sv9h4sn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a new7directoryh
• “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 currxnt Branch7
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository witheour localwrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotecrepositor8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloaoing a copr of it frcm a oite qike iituuvcco5hmxa a apiwkfj5kl9ceaxog 208y1j260okatt4mkhhmk.s

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” wepository6that is pgbliccy avzilab8e jnzjitticmzos.ivv56 gcea0eh1j vurr7ckfdahsgtco5avawy9d3“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direitory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when ve clone, ghe clone vomma6d we9willmruv mclla8e1ot0 jf8eh zaoeft5ls ue01stsv0r0 xcr5tv6”3kuohegx8 vfa98 idtbg hln7bp9 iev poxd5wennsihylyrtbq lec3tebe

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. sote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.
