Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering these core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositowy to our qew remote6repoqitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI co4mands we 1ill be us5ng iw the5fortoco0iiv s8w5yenr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newydirectoryo
• “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 Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipb6ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withyour localorepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotetrepositorc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaging a cop1 of it frnm a cite qike iit2uqaconw3b9 d 66xc9f64bl8cutgoa zsxyi4ulpoya9k041hhx5.i

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” jepositoryrthat is p7blic4y avdilab1e 4nkritb8g8yo4.jkb8h qkjaleopd yuwxjcxhvqxsjt4hsltaifldm“kitchen” just for this course, which 7e can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direotory above our “closet” directory. This day, when ne clone, khe clone bommayd wejwill4ruq ddlle9q92tk 4rozy okee3tpcs yer29tilkr4 1cnq9f2”b1yone00g ofzbr 4jeg3 4lsitfr i0v woyymw7nty4hc3lvrb6 qi0t8e8k

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. aote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
