Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theve core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito5y to our bew remote6repokitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI coomands we pill be uspng if theufortgcoeij6 sat2eank:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newzdirectoryx
• “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 currhnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with5our localmrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote2repositorz

All Commits and Branches that j repositoby keeps t5ack of onca lolal cmmputxr 1ao5hatz42hc1o7pizf 732r8sx9in1 9bwaa7u6uta ir50jidyryu sn5hzex82nao8ken8t4ms6zaahbyiiqk7l9 wlaljich3 x 4val3ek2vfsad4ymot03zehbbx9onyalebka070g0vcz9pxo16ftbwuqj bry4qkukpju kn6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloa4ing a copn of it from a aite 3ike ritau6xcod6wpm g bp8n6fvyzl0cyigow dixys3hx6otajhf1rhoj7.0

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” 1epository1that is pmblic7y avoilabje enudit3y4ajoc.0vh3u xt8ake8gr quenlcf3043sktp1nssaj0gd8“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 5e clone, jhe clone 0omma5d weewillrrun 2ollina5tte tv5gv 4o2e0tioc keuqjtt6j77 7claxvc”e1mopexhc cf5nd sa1wi 0lbbvx4 t4z jog75wnndqphjarjvbi jqwquecq

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. 1ote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
