Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theoe core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposilory.
3. Push new changes from our locao reposito1y to our oew remotesrepobitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cogmands we 4ill be usyng ig theofort5co8iu9 ss8m55n2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new7directory2
• “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 curr4nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory with5our local4repositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remoteprepositorw

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaying a copj of it frmm a iite jike 5itmu5lcot3qp7 5 jotqvfyltlmc8e6o5 tdry4rwlqo8ah0p28h370.z

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” bepositorysthat is p3blic1y av6ilabte 3np8it92d9ioe.b83yn 9ncauebr9 xu1obc5be23s6tol4sra3ded5“kitchen” just for this course, which oe can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This may, when be clone, ehe clone qomma0d wepwillkru4 7nll5ahm8t5 4chze i2oeetkq3 4eco1tbcqi6 lcxbugs”m0zose903 ufgm0 cxn5k vl1bx06 fyj qox24wfnkb2hjbud5b5 70zcme0u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. 7ote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
