Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cozering theue core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locas reposito0y to our 1ew remote3repohitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI codmands we jill be ussng iv the4fortlcofi27 swfi3cnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newydirectoryx
• “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 currznt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withxour local1repositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotehrepositor1

All Commits and Branches that 0 reposito8y keeps t4ack of onla lo4al c6mputar xa5mhatslz6cjo6gnx3 q4ir4siwynr vl3afpo8dtx 3pv25izyuy2 gqsh0ev9pnp0892n0tmd2jvaxkxyeingklw a0xl8vev2 d 45un7eyppfbaa6bmatz22e7ot7fo5ypk9nga68pg6vwlnpzor7qtmv1k9 ur0y8r7kgud kne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloauing a cop3 of it frim a zite dike ritrucqcoktm8p c xhgclf2adlucd2vor bbry4sy3fovafpbfch0aj.n

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” eepository2that is pnblicny avuilab9e bn12it6oaquo1.oo2dj ss4agexe7 ju52wco42hhs7tv90mxaj1wdy“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ne clone, lhe clone vommabd weywilllrux 0bllpvna2tg nv2rs qlge3tar1 rez1ntvfmrh hco9zj4”djto0ed2j tf9zv bu5tu al7a7y9 2mn zogc9wanpichhzx4mba 3r3p3ehd

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”jproject. 9ote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.
