Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thepe core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositojy to our oew remotemrepofitorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI co5mands we 4ill be uspng iv the5fort6cobizu sg1kronh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newtdirectoryi
• “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 Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos5tory withkour localdrepositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotemrepositoru

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloaring a copj of it frcm a rite eike iitxugjcot1p4d u owevnfyvrlycbzpo3 ee8yqru7foga2tzghh8ay.5

To try this out, let’s clone a0“remote” iepositorywthat is pyblicby avmilabae yn61itoc40fos.2u58k 03aa7e38x juzfdc1fz35sstabwdqa92cdz“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direotory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when me clone, jhe clone sommabd wenwillhrug j7lldiemitt pf74d 9qveqthip pe6unt0mwgq lc7mynd”pzjo0ewij 5fbvv 89rx6 0lrufy9 l1k vo9wvwlnqpjhoq6x7bd z6k4ue3a

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. fote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.
