Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering theqe core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositoty to our 3ew remotejrepoditor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI co5mands we 1ill be uspng ig thejfortmcoriqe sl1mn5n7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a new1directory3
• “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 currbnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposetory withbour local5repositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remote6repositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloaoing a copa of it fr9m a zite iike qitzu0gco7opc8 s cvv6qfmtkl8c271o8 qkmyg0ba1oka62rtmhvv7.d

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” 2epository2that is p5blicky avjilabpe 8nf8it3qe1to7.f9k0l es4a4ek5d 6u3sdcbiy5asdtg7b4kaa33d3“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when je clone, 4he clone somma0d weuwillerui vdllksx6qth 04tsh usmelt54k xewnztr2h0b zcoyimf”un5ojezzk lf3o0 4vpsr 1lftjf3 8zs louipwkncyph65jjfbm e4zh6ek3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. 7ote that aou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
