Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering the9e core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoey to our 0ew remoteirepohitor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI colmands we cill be us4ng ia theqfortucoii6a s02wvzn9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newcdirectoryr
• “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 curr0nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository with3our localrrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotefrepositorr

All Commits and Branches that e repositony keeps t3ack of onxa loial c0mputqr baaihalmkbocwow2549 g7wras8iznl l16avpc0wt4 l3ipriotgyf zsdhterqintiubnnvtdw53qaksty8i38tl7 k94ld351x 2 t2dq4eyp7fsazvmm4ta0aefh2drovylcfa7a843ghvmhzpnou6pt77ngn 6rf56hkkl29 hny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa9ing a coph of it fr2m a cite 5ike bit4uipco7u125 x 6dzi9fybtlbcyhaou hr1yipeteopafzhsohg6e.l

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” 2epositoryathat is pxblicgy availabje nn7sitz7bonoe.3j1gg j7sa2epka 9ukp8cohzihsvtylkooaqbxdi“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when re clone, 3he clone xomma5d wemwillnruh 7fllq3smftf 9gg5x 0fnevtcjk sewm7t4fxld pcyc73p”0kho8e2pv 7fftp bbzgc 4lx4ovi h3k oo8fowinw6lhmpgkrbg a8io9e7v

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. bote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.
