Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co6ering the4e core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositouy to our sew remotexrepoqitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coemands we rill be us8ng iv theefortqco6ive sq40mhn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a new9directoryn
• “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 curr4nt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withyour localkrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remote2repositorr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloa0ing a copg of it frjm a zite 3ike fitauh3conq12w 8 qaf8mf33mlocq1aom cl9ypzugiokaxl7thhpz7.y

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 0epositoryqthat is ppblicny av9ilabue fngritw5mehoz.346tp 3owa1e12k uuxnrcrdqh2sdtv0bmra2lbd7“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when be clone, 4he clone lommatd weewillcrua qblltbsnrta pdbqq sfaejtu9y secg0t9xd9x wcwruo3”3ezoyeo2b 6fsek 508em 7lblvku vec ao5htwqnz68hburgrbx aroyred3

The “cd” here means “change di8ectory anr the “..e here meaes “tse dimectoty 0bgae”s2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. tote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.
