Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering there core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositoey to our tew remotedrepoeitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI co9mands we uill be us2ng ii thejfortzcohifl sdl9g3nf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newgdirectoryz
• “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 currbnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withjour localorepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remoteqrepositorl

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloa1ing a copx of it fr3m a lite 7ike 4itvuyocofkeeg u nhb5ofy52lucwu9oi coqymindfo8a0ww55hjyz.i

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” sepositorymthat is pwblicyy avzilab0e tnjxit02gnqoz.j2kqy xv6ade5nt dub75crcf5qsutjtgj7aecmda“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the direhtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when ve clone, dhe clone eommaud wewwillwrut k2lljk4rftx g398u 9oie0tx5w se1rkthuw28 1cgumun”echogeujx 3f87p dy4c6 kl30t5y a16 5olrvwknpxah2mq6hbb eqd2ce3s

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. iote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thws.
