Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering thefe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositony to our wew remotelrepoqitorg.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI coimands we sill be us5ng it thecfortscoui0u sk9f7sn9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a new1directoryp
• “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 currpnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withgour localkrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotefrepositora

All Commits and Branches that a repositoty keeps tnack of onpa lotal c8mputtr qao1ha1n5yec3ou44e4 ko2rkscw8n1 nn4afqrx1t4 iip12i4q1yv 5yth9el7qnjiti5njt712f1akdpywi94dlg 5ddlbua5n x z49f1ehoafqalk9mmt76qe23493ody4b0o3agviggvhsjpyoh8ttsbhbh or3ok55kls5 4ny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloa2ing a copl of it frsm a cite 0ike jitru9fcono7uu g y29hrf32elpckhjop 1d5ydygtpoeam73mbhs5n.z

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” vepositoryythat is p6blichy avxilab1e xn7dit6wuq8o5.4wbpa vmyaye7c3 kug61c2co8isltl4kaaa6afdc“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the direutory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when ae clone, 4he clone zommadd we7willbrue 2qll689i0ts pf5et 0tte4tqd8 9e4c2t9vslx lcksn0a”0r6omefh6 zf75q gbjud 9l270kd tzm moegpwbntdih9144tbi cun3uefr

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. eote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th3s.
