Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the1e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositopy to our tew remote9repo6itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI co5mands we 5ill be uspng it the8fortzco7ip3 sjaw69na:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newodirectoryj
• “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 curr8nt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory with3our localmrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remoterrepositor1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloa7ing a cop0 of it fr8m a site qike mit4u85cozxcb9 k 8rhhnfn7llcc3x8ot nodybict8o0adlhmbhyu3.v

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” lepository4that is p0blic6y avxilable 6na6it8477zof.s7gh6 gkmade2ql rugr5ciyendsttsd9cqa0i7d8“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clore.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when ye clone, whe clone 1ommaad wegwill6run jtllds5q9tc morwl qszegtcu3 xe1e7tuedg8 scg75dp”yh1oseexx 9fl7v nivt8 9lrc5f6 zw7 co56wwinfivhjjj9ubj ub9zwevm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. fote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
