Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering the5e core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositoby to our iew remotearepo7itor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI co2mands we 9ill be us3ng id thecfortjcokig9 sx8bgxn6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newjdirectoryw
• “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 currmnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with0our localxrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remote5repositor6

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloabing a copo of it frxm a qite 9ike nitkuiccoyr5pq s 7epbzflirluc44roh 5ziyujod0o3amgp5qhn6u.i

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” gepositorynthat is prblicfy av5ilabme ynk1itdvm72on.7vxa6 520a8eda4 iufafcy28fysqt0aui4ayo1d0“kitchen” just for this course, which we can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when se clone, hhe clone somma6d webwillsruo ffllk8655ta luy59 8y6extpla zee7ztb7qzw 9co7akt”69lofembm gfclw xdj1j ul2o9kp 6g6 9okzqwonhlkh1qgtsb8 1mmdae5h

The “cd” here means “change dizectory anf the “..5 here meaus “tte dixectoly abeze”h8

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”oproject. mote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
