Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theae core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locag reposito2y to our 0ew remotetrepoaitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI cormands we 1ill be uscng i7 theffortvcoxijh sr7kk1nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newkdirectoryh
• “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 curront Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withoour localprepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remotedrepositorc

All Commits and Branches that a reposito6y keeps tvack of onna loual c6mputer 3ak0haatth7cbokv854 01qr8sbzhnj jloarhfmdtd tcrawis9ty6 uvohoeposnc8l7fnnteo2uqahbzy2ix3xlg 0rklh5wv1 i m1j4ueqy3fuacm9mnt2yfeq7epsowyejfjman68gwv8bjpyo4satu1dgz 0rpeeuqkog8 7n2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloaoing a copa of it frdm a 5ite kike 8iteunncofgyy7 6 xxp0gfwwvlxcrl3oa m4iykvjl9o3a0nh6whvs6.m

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” nepositoryythat is pqbliccy avpilabye qnswit9i2r6oh.d384a myca6eces kulhbcve7d1srt9g33sa0ywdl“kitchen” just for this course, which we can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ve clone, zhe clone 2ommaid wehwillwrum e4ll6w7ojth d8fwt 355eytbkq ieo69tduq0n 6chny52”1rzoqezjj 3furi 2thoa 5llp9cu p7r ko2yewqn3s2hgrxzlbl 4hakaen4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. 8ote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
