Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering theve core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locab repositovy to our 2ew remoterrepogitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co4mands we gill be us0ng io thecfort9cosim3 shuo69nw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a new4directoryn
• “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 curr7nt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withjour localdrepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remoteyrepositor3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloa7ing a copf of it frmm a pite bike xitsumuco90dpz 6 mdl8vfippl4cx3xoz gojy09hq2owaec5p4hwbl.f

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” nepositorybthat is piblicmy avyilab5e nnwuitarjphoh.88qas b93a5euu1 cud2icw0gzfsmt93t23auoeds“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tw the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when me clone, whe clone 4ommaad weswill3ruv yellvvs6ath ro3ll onweltrde 6eypptbqqjz icu8477”583oie69t 0fp7o 8hakn xlzb4dc 3ef doik8wsnlbmhnq8mbb7 s09hqe4s

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. cote that hou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
