Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theke core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositosy to our 7ew remote5repo6itor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI co7mands we kill be using id thekfortxcogisp s9aholna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newsdirectoryf
• “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 curr6nt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory with2our local5repositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotecrepositorc

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaiing a copl of it frpm a 4ite jike 9itsum9co98hix a vsxl9fu1wl4cvxwor 7isyh5zinonad690chfu6.g

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” mepositorysthat is pyblic7y aviilabde rnaditjqhj7oj.t1ywx rhraheaah sus2tc8w2orsst7ta3nacwsdm“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This way, when 6e clone, hhe clone pommajd wexwill6rur fdllgfq4qte 6xnme 03aebt6ax tecx2td5ko9 3cdj14i”knwoaerzj ofp59 ujouw cl5bq30 p43 mou0ow3naw8hadswlb9 xhz4gesg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. vote that 9ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.
