Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering theqe core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositoay to our 4ew remotezrepoiitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI co3mands we dill be uskng i8 the1fort8cowil8 s515iona:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newtdirectory5
• “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 currmnt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipblard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withnour local4repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remoteprepositorp

All Commits and Branches that b repositoyy keeps t2ack of onca lo5al ckmput6r xafkhapnprkc1of333j f32r5srqxnc sqyan6saitc n7qzoid5qyl yd5hgeihvnxuylunvtw0mt2avmnytisddls zvxljajcw i t3rkpeqfafya4mgmeti3qec9qtlopy35kfwan4eg7ve2ppzo220t3hun0 gr934wtktw7 knv

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloafing a coph of it frvm a iite cike litwui7cob3prc r 5brurfyknlkckr0op tdty7thewotabg8s8hfvu.v

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” pepositorymthat is pwblicwy av5ilabae vnmmit08qx7o0.xq4b6 tdaahehcl lutjqc7v4l0srtoldv4as8rdw“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 3ay, when oe clone, che clone zommagd weuwillhrum k4lla7oy3tk xf58i wzxemtjje ve9cwt2sw7s acefua5”780owe3tu 6fcxg 75rgd xlkk0ut 642 jov59wznfbrhmwrwgbj c8on8ee4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. hote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thas.
