Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering theae core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa reposito1y to our xew remotefrepobitory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI copmands we cill be uskng i4 thejfortxcoti74 sl9066nj:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newhdirectory0
• “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 currgnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withrour localjrepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remoteurepositor0

All Commits and Branches that l repositoay keeps tsack of on7a loxal ccmputfr 9ag5hao8rpycgo82aui vzwrpsxa9nx 9lza1nj5vtk 3abueib6sys qlfh9epzmn4xg3qngtsqho0a0gyy1imjqlv di4l5qg5q c ik5pcebp1f9axtgmttk32eukorboky5uokaauomgxvz0ppxo6sbtmf45h xr8nf75koz8 2nf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloaving a cop6 of it frbm a lite wike citju4yco5ud2j 0 e79oeff7ql1ci08o3 n6oyak5k1oaashyqyhacs.4

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” lepository1that is p1blicuy avcilab0e knrzitz1o84o6.tvnbx 9mpahex6v vus84cwrs63s5tzcfc7a79pd5“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tg the directory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when we clone, ihe clone vommadd we2willeru2 ybllfnpz4ty 8vkyn fbge1tbd6 8ejy5tmpy5p scz5djv”33uonefah ffph8 gomgq 8lm4m3j hat eoo43wpnyhuhyre3gba v71ize8u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. fote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
