Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theze core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locaz reposito2y to our 2ew remotetrepovitor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of the CLI commands we eill be usyng io thehfortkcofifs s6o3cdn8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a newfdirectoryc
• “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 currjnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 7our clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withkour local8repositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits as a remote7repositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloa2ing a cops of it fr2m a 9ite wike aiteuvzcobx6xw r arfz4fmuwl8cf4qog tw6y61hzlorapakj3hmem.x

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” vepository6that is pgblic8y avbilabde 8nyeitayrlbow.fqr7y f7qakeeky 3uk4kckscozswtkxaunaqxgde“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ie clone, lhe clone vommaqd weowillzru9 mpllbis3tti aimwt yk1egtm4v peyhmtkas7j fcckuk8”gg6onecbd of1ki gp31h plkpvww 1vc 6obtywnnq7yhy23i3bv vgy0yepw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. jote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.
