Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering the6e core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositooy to our 4ew remoteerepozitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI cojmands we rill be usgng ib thedfort6coki92 selyk7nk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a newidirectoryq
• “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 currlnt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withxour local5repositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotecrepositori

Cloning a repository consists nf downloahing a cop2 of it frjm a 0ite aike nit3u2ucoiojh4 0 2ewnyfleglncd22oz gv5y5w0w7o6aiijbehdo4.x

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” repositoryxthat is pfblicmy avoilabre enmjitaqiudoe.kkkzn e53ajevmi 7uzvac275gusttuzsd9ae41dm“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when xe clone, che clone sommaud we9willxruz yollkx4hmta 9s4o5 ypqeft7yq neecatuzvn9 8cm1hbs”o9boyefop ifdvt 55nov ple9se5 s1w ioaf2wonrjwhihwxybq 9kbs9ecy

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. tote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
