Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theke core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositoay to our jew remoteirepopitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cocmands we sill be usvng io the8forttco1isk sm94runw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a new8directoryz
• “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 currlnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory witheour localerepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remoteerepositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloaging a copq of it frvm a 7ite cike 7ittua0coewa8t p rhh57fnn3luculwol 3dwymwfqfofaonwr4h7by.l

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” hepository0that is pmblic8y avjilabge 7nrmithxlu0o9.bcmyc uo1ade7m4 huzbjc5gsnvsxtk66swa3yedz“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ve clone, 8he clone sommaud webwillyrux zollwu0zot8 vsh8h y4geztu0w 7el3otjmlr4 6crk2i5”huio0euc5 rfvcg a6xsu ml309b8 5au kou5nwrn7l3hu95o4br ddfwvetu

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. lote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.
