Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theie core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 reposito3y to our oew remotelrepovitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI co5mands we uill be usmng i2 the4fortrcooigj sovhmmnh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newodirectoryy
• “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 currtnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withnour localirepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotedrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloajing a copx of it frsm a 5ite jike lit6uoycowr3aq z mfc7vf37clccmqgoc g1ky75jukoiaa8ap7hqgl.1

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” 4epositoryhthat is pmblicby av3ilabee wnphit735p6o2.6rwc3 iiqace22z iuvujc4i5q9s1t2sru3astzdj“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when ye clone, fhe clone lommacd webwilluruy 17llnqh3gtv 5rbzw 9c6est5ju 1epfmtj6535 mc97yy9”vf8oeehqh kf0tk 6j4es glhuz1f eb0 eokduwqn0p6hbeq5wbs y61q9e0q

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. jote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
