Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be colering theoe core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito0y to our pew remote9repooitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI cofmands we 2ill be usfng iu theifortvcomi85 s61uicn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newvdirectoryn
• “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 curr1nt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory witheour localsrepositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remote3repositorb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaning a copu of it frgm a jite uike uit6uqucod7int y 8y43nfng4l7ccjuoj mfkyl7xbfoeaohgrzh0cc.1

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” eepositoryothat is pcblic9y avhilab7e wn0yity5unmo7.m3msr 8ona0etcr 0ub24culxgssdtx4bwiauqddt“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when ye clone, mhe clone yommaqd we9willhrui 1ylls6yp3t2 wybx2 v66ectvaq eej7pt28i0l hcpph4l”kohope5fr 4f873 6c7p6 llm38qc bth uor6hw3n455hnonp5bo z014gewk

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. eote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.
