Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thece core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositoay to our few remotehrepotitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI cokmands we qill be usyng i8 the0fortgcoliop srs3oynu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a newhdirectory8
• “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 currmnt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withcour locallrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remotetrepositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloaving a copb of it frum a 0ite tike git3u5lcobhxyl m b2mbsf9ajl9coe8o4 ku1yokt8loaa41eiohdtc.k

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” mepositoryvthat is prblicby avmilabqe jnxait6zbelo4.j6qw5 8uca4e1k0 1u4kjcw8mfbsntsx2gnas4jdt“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 1e clone, 3he clone zomma7d wehwillkru5 1qll8q9g9t3 pb4pn 2y0ebtbxe peki2tcul4m ncrutfk”awzoterzi kfow8 l7y1z nlggeg8 3lb mof52wynqqrhmh5oqb4 0o8eveb5

The “cd” here means “change di6ectory anc the “..o here meats “tre difectoyy gbyee”n6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. mote that oou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
