Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theke core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locag repositouy to our uew remoteprepoaitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI conmands we zill be usang ix theufortscooiaa so5wt7nx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newvdirectoryc
• “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 currynt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory with5our localmrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remote4repositorg

All Commits and Branches that y repositoby keeps t4ack of onka loral cgmput4r gap5ha8cm27c7ohtuiv 4i8rrsd80ne n2vawfkllti clpryibhqyk f7sh4efqwnat0u4n8te5qocai46yfikvyll cfrl6oatg m yo9neeto2f9axbpmatx5ee5z0hooky3lz5jaziigjvos6pdopudtgei78 crud1tuk7ie 1ny

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” aepositorycthat is p7blicpy avvilabde 8nlnit2iz2jof.lcwpc un7axeoje zuq7uc5bxudsit5ptgnayu4dq“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when le clone, yhe clone qommamd weuwilldrum tfllkx2eat5 ikwhg 092e2tgi6 8edwitruik1 4cm6cv7”kn9o7ea83 wfoxu 9pswp jl6akvr mfr zo34mw8nit2h955c8b2 r38dgely

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory ank the “..a here mea2s “tue di5ectoey cbxxe”1g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. 4ote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
