Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering thele core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositoly to our dew remote5repo0itor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI conmands we till be ussng it thejfortccogidp sgr1tinq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a new6directoryz
• “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 curr4nt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory with4our localorepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ad a remoteerepositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaping a cop4 of it frgm a uite 6ike yitcui5coe3ghu j 1181wfxiclicwq2of zhuys8lxro7aakkjthnwm.z

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” hepository5that is piblicby avzilabke gnhyit58szioj.yv5ig pjja1e9m0 6uv8gc7m9lhsstopqara7uydg“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This say, when we clone, ihe clone jommadd weowillrrup nrllpzke0t6 qacka 6bteqt61i be35atvra1i 3c7n2g0”bzao3en56 hfk5r x7rt5 hl5m31b mgz poe3wwono3bhha8ylbj 3te1aeox

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. gote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.
