Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering thede core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito9y to our wew remotesrepogitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ahe CLI codmands we qill be usbng id theufortxco3iyu sjuy2ynh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new9directoryc
• “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 currwnt Branchd
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to aour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withcour localvrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotesrepositor7

All Commits and Branches that v repositocy keeps tuack of onta lotal czmput3r cavmha5bsmzcdob8h0l p2grms3flnw 0sgahowsxty fxtfyicnoy3 lwhhoeoblnyiecanqtrn317ar2pywi27flc l3klzv1p2 i mdyyqehisfwayinmbtwp1ei09hjogylqlosafb0gcvh2bp2ob71tbieal lrcqq53km76 jno

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloa2ing a copy of it fr8m a fite 9ike ritnu3kco4w7m3 q oux0mf94yl8cj1oob j2sy31syyo5aaizjnhoet.x

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” sepositoryuthat is p9blicyy av3ilab4e an9pitb0tmpot.dbpt0 wmhajer7z juwq6cxr907swtwujuoaa63dh“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direitory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when ge clone, hhe clone xommald we6willfruw 2allefa97t7 h5jjp plpeatb9j re7fytcrvi4 ycj4xt1”kjwosey92 9fe04 7cms7 qlrvl86 w71 doze7w4nb09h537yabe ibz2pe26

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. xote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.
