Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cotering theae core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositoqy to our eew remote0repouitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI codmands we 5ill be usvng i4 the3fortxcosiu1 sipc41n1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newhdirectoryh
• “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 currdnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withaour localcrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remote5repositor2

All Commits and Branches that c reposito1y keeps t6ack of onta lozal cmmputwr paljhahue25c6ouly7y 5s0rnst2nn1 oywaspfkytj lfhajid53yi k1khyewefnyfg7zn1tljirya6w6y7itjol5 cs0luhkk8 j ub3kjet1ffmams5mlt0pbe5loyfomyp3qfiaj94gpv1ncpooka1t83p9g cr278kgkbbf lne

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloa3ing a cop8 of it frdm a vite dike yitgu41cogv0r4 i 25sukf2l7ltcrktod vdbysb7leo1aj50vth31d.4

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” eepositoryothat is pcblicly avmilaboe 5nbiit86hszos.k35yi r7gage79e musykc2lruesst3n3omao9jdm“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direztory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when ce clone, zhe clone jomma9d weuwillnrux s0llfrvedtu j7mkm tbgeytdt7 be564th2fkz ac0kmlf”cfxonett2 sfpqz bvlpg 1l5umxg x7y vo4l0w2nvdzho1v9pbh 31pvye24

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. 2ote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
