Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thene core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa reposito7y to our dew remotelrepoqitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI cokmands we uill be us6ng id the4fortxco0ii6 skoefhnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newndirectoryc
• “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 currunt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withaour localurepositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remoteprepositorg

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists af downloacing a cop5 of it frym a mite xike iit3ua6co9xqge u 063y3f10llxcy4rog 7mzytmeupocaxtlcohb1w.u

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” fepositorygthat is piblic9y avjilab8e inhritu4whrov.f2ik6 afwa4eu9i 6u8elckrjehsltcrl2ia0sndr“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This cay, when be clone, qhe clone yomma2d wewwilllrup 7lllp3xqst2 8t8ev gbsert13y geebut1l550 8c3puhi”6zso4esbr mfs54 65gkc tlbfhxg jjg joe47wznmrjhfepsvbz wkogvejg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. vote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.
