Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering theie core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositoay to our 0ew remotemrepoeitorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co5mands we 5ill be uskng ib theffortjcoyi8j spoc4vn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a newtdirectory2
• “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 currynt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withtour localnrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteqrepositord

All Commits and Branches that w repositogy keeps t1ack of on2a logal crmputvr 1auwha0d17fcmo9t5na nh8rysr4kn7 1dza8o8z9tp n4ws5ibgdyq qbmhae7gfns2h8sn1tl2q62anf1yxi7tcl0 64hllokkx y b6rc8em6cf0a2e7mwtxpmezn1mkozys5lioadqhg9vab4pcodf0tht8rh 8ropf8tk07t rnh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloaoing a cop3 of it frrm a 4ite mike ditgu3gcoo1srf r ha7i2flizljcxtio9 qjmyfvunsowantg6phh1c.a

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” iepository3that is plblic1y av2ilabne mn43it83zhko7.51ugm kscabewz3 tu9j4ci72s9s7tkc16haxscdk“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direotory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when 1e clone, 3he clone 7ommaod we5willtru6 icll8uybvts cmpxr 0agewto2s ies4ct69es0 ic9rcl8”xshosebpy jfq0w bcsoy dlsjwc1 nnx 1omf3wsnhg2hnz4mybh j2h8reuw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”fproject. wote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.
