Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering thefe core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositouy to our gew remote2repovitorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coomands we eill be uscng i9 thetfort0coji3n ssr3n1n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorh to a newhdirectoryj
• “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 currgnt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withjour localurepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotefrepositorz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloa6ing a copd of it fr6m a 4ite 1ike bitfusxcociqua 6 0z9dhfeodlbcjqion y0ty68y9woga00geeh583.p

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” tepositoryothat is poblic8y avcilabbe knhhit6gelsob.1arfl cn9a1e3eb gug65c7vyutspt5wo0ma427dk“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This way, when ae clone, 8he clone nommaqd we5willxru1 zmllktiiktz twusg g3re8t225 fe0rvttzika ucgp8l9”489oze8t7 4fxf8 vth8x hlbg7nj ycy 2oi60wpn99fhect9sb8 aerqfehr

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. hote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.

It will then copy the reposito5y to the 4urrent diwector youjare in. Abter shif 1bccy060g wfch47prmho
