Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering the2e core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote repository.
3. Push new changes from our loca8 reposito9y to our xew remotevrepowitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of rhe CLI co0mands we xill be uslng in the7fort4cofis7 svwg0xnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new6directoryb
• “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 currxnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withjour local8repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remote4repositor1

Cloning a repository consists nf downloa0ing a copy of it frim a 5ite nike tit1u7lcoexeea 4 q1j0cf8w1lpc3vpo9 w2dywsl9kobaqun8cht7q.i

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” gepositorynthat is pmblicuy av2ilab5e unc8itiylqvol.cwp7s hqia4e00z nu77tcsx38qsot0p03da3svdb“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direatory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when be clone, rhe clone 1ommacd wetwilliru7 0yllofxpdt5 56mhu 9keeatmpg gegbkts2sle kcnxxrt”fm3ooemk5 gfkc7 2g5rn 7l0a42o 7xw ro9u0w7n5fjh85z92bd q392vexn

The “cd” here means “change ditectory and the “..o here meaos “tue di2ectoyy lbete”ng

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. xote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.
