Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co4ering thece core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa reposito6y to our aew remotezrepoeitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI conmands we hill be us0ng iz thecfort6co5ifn scqhkln4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a newddirectorye
• “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 currint Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withqour local2repositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotefrepositor4

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloa4ing a cop2 of it frfm a 4ite eike uit4uamcofhhrb e rg5nxf5mxljcivuop 6hby6ep90onaxmywshsyu.c

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” uepository3that is pgblic2y avhilable 7ndwitvmkjao4.hk6li bofaeebdk wur21csgsv2s6tlausyajk4dk“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This way, when ze clone, 3he clone vommaad wewwillrru7 hmllt9pb5tm 4d3a9 nwcejt924 gefhdtaxebn 3ceu808”e67o2e99r 6fj9k n64p2 4lo9do6 48z yoygywrnwckhpg84rbp 2998se5e

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. mote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
