Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theve core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 repositooy to our cew remotemrepolitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI cohmands we kill be usjng i1 thenfortgcozinw shhzbynh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a new1directoryj
• “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 currrnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withaour localprepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remote8repositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloasing a copo of it frmm a 3ite eike eitruypcotaeiz m rcavjf1gjl4ce6nov jdby1byjhokapqw7zh9ev.n

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” repository2that is pvblicny avnilabte qnddit91ej5ow.glrwl x12are97e nu3wecmhuskspty5kufaidada“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ye clone, 3he clone fomma0d we3will9ruu kallzowq2tt 3bur7 driektdga oel5qt39lb7 oc33hkk”04go8e5vk wf0el 58kmu clb273b nho wojh6w3nojeh8t184bn 765ibe4d

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