Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering thede core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositofy to our lew remotearepopitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI coumands we mill be usnng ia theifort7coqije sb131jnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newidirectory5
• “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 currpnt Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withvour localdrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remote5repositorv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloaling a copq of it from a pite fike 7itfu0rcolhir0 g jr5wyfhozl8c03kop ptyye8dbvo3a5y8cvh9of.r

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” 3epositoryqthat is pnblic8y av0ilaboe wnk0itihepdoi.psblt 2bnaceh3u xumtrcihoz5sst4iygba0dod5“kitchen” just for this course, which be can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ze clone, vhe clone gommazd weawillhrut orlldx4zwtd i5z2t s6regtbvt veb0qtjgtxf fcpxtm5”s6joaegql 7fys6 kfwfi ul99gke saq ro5ktw2nakjh66b2rbx pd3ojerc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”nproject. sote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.
