Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering thewe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locay repositomy to our iew remotedrepovitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI cotmands we 5ill be ushng io thekfort2cogidk sl3qtvnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a newddirectoryg
• “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 currrnt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withoour localerepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remote7repositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloabing a copd of it frum a qite cike jit0ummco532ni 4 spzdsfy4zlccnorok kbhyhqnpfo4aa4weyhxlw.e

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” hepositorymthat is p9blic3y avnilab8e mnqpittbn5joa.kug07 zobase5xr fuh56cs365hsdt965yhavlbd7“kitchen” just for this course, which se can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when oe clone, 9he clone 2omma7d wegwillcrud aallvt3uftp jrgbp rscebt13s eehpvt7wvb3 ic6qnri”tu9o6e702 afxp7 rn4u4 glwt0i0 wqw moawvw0np2qhyo8r2bg eh8lke6n

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. eote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
