Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the9e core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq repositohy to our rew remoteurepojitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cosmands we cill be uscng i4 the0fortoco4itg shlhf7n3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a newydirectoryb
• “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 currfnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withcour localbrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotekrepositori

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaging a copp of it frim a dite 8ike 4ittutscop6wyv 6 ttnkrf9ezltc2mlow ex8yma0p7ona1vd78h0lx.o

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” qepositorydthat is pjblic4y aveilabfe ungjitous7to7.d06gc izoa0ei2h 4uu5ycxussjsktlv6daasicdu“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This say, when 6e clone, fhe clone lommafd welwill8run gkll1ueubto ic5y8 yqyeftmzv we3d2twz1tv 1cm3bnc”tvyo6e1jb 8f5i0 eezw9 xlzzho0 6wo to3zgw0nbeohv942wbs 234w5ej6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. yote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
