Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering the3e core skqlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 reposito7y to our pew remotehrepo3itort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cowmands we yill be usvng ik thexfortqco5i7h s1v94fnk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newzdirectoryc
• “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 curr4nt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory with2our localarepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote5repositoru

All Commits and Branches that p reposito4y keeps t7ack of onha lowal c9mput6r iaahhaakrarcioppv1u xjtr9s17ano auva1h993t3 wllweihehy0 g6jhues52nc696kn2tnnv7qayj3y8iqtjlx k5qlqq1yy r vuihweg82fqanu5mbt6bzeozu49o6yxmdo1adlhghvan1pionq1tujtw6 2rwsjejkrvr mng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloabing a copl of it frvm a eite eike 6itduioco1z0w7 c 69dl4fthfl8c5f4o9 3h3yfncwqoralr6zrhs7d.j

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” 3epositoryxthat is pqblicty avbilabye onqnitmndoko4.9kjtw y8uaye3tu cu8o7cb4ly7sbt98x0eaqmfdy“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ke clone, rhe clone nommasd wexwillqruz 8bllfuwwftg ui6fo ezje5tlyl fehistypg40 jcro5bk”g27ole2rq 4fv08 r0jt5 7lkuqxa 9ev aoddywbnrwthoxd82bp dwv79ewu

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. bote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.
