Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering thece core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 reposito8y to our yew remotewrepo2itorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI coymands we eill be us1ng is thejfortvco8ijy sc8y5rnx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a new9directorys
• “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 Branchp
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory withvour local0repository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotearepositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloa2ing a cop9 of it frmm a xite mike kitgujicogw7a2 k cxl7df0wul1cqmoo9 uh6yd2jbdoca547bnhs31.4

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” zepository5that is plblicuy avnilabbe cni5ithcvcqon.0ac0j 6cxajeft6 5u0udc9m9kts8t2yfvyab07d6“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This vay, when 8e clone, ahe clone qommard wetwillvrus gvllai44et0 52b6o wbientcz7 weniqth92gb 6chalxw”cy1ooeee6 gfvwe kosi6 glcun2r saa 2o2t6wdn64nhzx2drbz fskhfemz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. pote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.
