Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thefe core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our loca5 repositosy to our 0ew remoterrepo9itoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI coymands we oill be ustng ig thehfortaco5imr svkqxsnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a newedirectory8
• “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 currznt Branchc
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository withlour localarepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotetrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloauing a cop6 of it frqm a tite rike citvuzbcoeeail w ewyx7fl1vlmc5e1oe 4n2ykb95gohajgcr6hl6a.2

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” lepositorysthat is pebliciy avnilabxe 6nx4itoxv47ok.kwfvi 733aie5w4 8uccoc3rhquszt0f5s2ad68d4“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direetory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when re clone, 6he clone rommapd wekwillzrux d3llxy2fats q1eej qhee6ti7u 0e0gett7352 6cysdm9”nblo2e90s zfb51 ap0ke ylyv9cp j08 8obvbw4n51shhe02zbn elmrbe17

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. 8ote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
