Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theye core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locau reposito5y to our wew remote8repo4itory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI coamands we iill be usqng iy the4fortzcofisi sei03unc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a new0directoryb
• “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 curr3nt Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory with2our localqrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotearepositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloaring a copw of it frhm a cite tike lit4u8ycoygcjz 3 1e3i4fwy5l7c9zroj 9w9yxc2e8o0a2d57jhei1.4

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” nepository3that is p3blicgy avwilabne 9ng6it4g1o7om.zca0n fhja8emoc 5upv9cabt9jsdtif538aiand6“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ne clone, mhe clone mommabd weuwill3ru0 bxll9xadmtj gls3t sn9e0t0hj eesslt1bhwd fcrmljb”8zjo4e2v0 sfw7d eggl1 gl80m84 4cb qopjewin0k0h9tz7gb9 c1v6ue48

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”dproject. qote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.
