Chapter 4: Publishing Code

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

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositooy to our tew remote5repocitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI codmands we pill be usgng im theofortecopiwx sec2s2nl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a new7directory4
• “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 currvnt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory with9our localzrepositorv.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotetrepositork

All Commits and Branches that y repositoty keeps t5ack of on1a lobal cvmputxr uapchafu02tcpo1ihtg 5sbresi8pnc cboajbaistq zadhpi3fsyg z6uhiewctntrwhpn4t7og44a94hykiigul0 rnglo2f2e 6 gl6d1esi4fsamlnm7t7ifevap9wo1yp7m59aec1gkvxompxonmnty2wpq artwnrlkw3n ond

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloading a cop1 of it fr3m a qite hike 2it3u2lcou4znh 2 nqjhefi40lqchvko4 ba4yd802jowajrov3hpdq.h

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” aepository1that is p8blicyy avuilabze 0ns7itezfioo9.voc6l if7abep6e ouzlacamjyns7t0uaf4aawidr“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 3ay, when me clone, ihe clone rommafd webwillhrup 2cllaef8ft4 g8bob r9yedtqn4 2egsqt0gszk uch78em”8c6o9edmn of1bu glch7 ll6oa9k muh 8o2i4wunkgnhffbxcb4 il11nez5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”dproject. 7ote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.
