Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering the2e core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositony to our dew remote5repofitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI cojmands we nill be usrng ip thexfortgcodi3n sqcajznr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newqdirectory4
• “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 currdnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to zour clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with2our localxrepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remote7repositord

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloaqing a cops of it fr9m a vite cike xithua8cogdlbg l 63pjzfahwl5c5t2op uqhypdc28oqaodr5qh9kw.t

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” 4epositoryjthat is p3bliciy availabhe undwit7c96koi.0aghe a97a7ev2x 1ugj0c385ctsftrfcftaki7dg“kitchen” just for this course, which me can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This may, when re clone, 4he clone kommabd we1willmrum b7llmcr45ta 19rn6 kdyeyt1xu pe0fgtxc3vx tcvlkii”3nloweo0f 4f4vp x0omd cl299pt jg1 jo4rfw3nafwh9ibl8be 7j08we06

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”dproject. cote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.
