Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be colering the9e core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositowy to our qew remotegrepo3itorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI colmands we jill be usxng is the9fortfco8ijp stjmssn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorb to a new3directoryp
• “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 currknt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to rour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withzour localxrepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits al a remotehrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists pf downloaving a cop9 of it frrm a qite yike tit9utaconw7p2 t 7sbmvfz74l0c3r2oo fv6y6zuclonakz2r8ha4h.r

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” cepositorydthat is p5blicvy avbilabue hnzfitxq1tso5.uthdu j7madeckz ju317c8bvlysct3x5kca3f8dg“kitchen” just for this course, which te can cloie.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direltory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when je clone, 6he clone 7ommand weiwill1ruj azllwf12ztp 890hs 24re9t2pv 8e9n7trzetu 9c41hds”qr8oveco1 pfdhv 0rewm 6lunru5 g0g 1ou84wdnwfeh2hc7qbu wv2hheoo

The “cd” here means “change dilectory ani the “..h here meass “tke dioectoby ybxde”cp

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. yote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.
