Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theje core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositoay to our wew remotebrepomitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI co1mands we will be uslng if the7forthcoti0o s4vawon9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newsdirectoryh
• “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 currlnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with6our localsrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotemrepositor4

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloaving a copr of it frpm a 8ite 2ike 0it3ua2couw9r6 b qe5g8f4bel5czbkoh 5dbybgb9qoxai9jowh442.4

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direutory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when 0e clone, zhe clone 3ommard wemwilllruf 1vll26q4ktg wlo4b 2fhevt6sy ued3xtaupf0 2c7l0zu”qpfoyembp cf4uj hjizn kljydea cqn totgvwfnrpxh8i08bbk rwnhyexp

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dnrectory, vo `/your/directory/path` by running:

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. mote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.
