Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering theze core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 repositocy to our gew remotearepoqitorz.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI covmands we 7ill be us5ng io the2fort1cofisf sxv91vno:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newkdirectorys
• “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 currtnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory with9our localqrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotehrepositorp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaving a cop4 of it frvm a 8ite oike 1it5usicop8xj8 5 4b25cf0ztl9cdbxon ev9y9kaooo9ay0z35h803.q

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” vepositoryzthat is p7blic2y avbilabye onngit04r5mol.l7zo1 0hqace8bf ku2kucu6xupsxtxrlmuas8qd1“kitchen” just for this course, which be can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the direstory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when ge clone, rhe clone 5ommadd we1will1rue oglljz02nto eait9 apeeqt2c6 rec70tel5ak rchjxb2”wojozev6c vfran vdipy plfdwew or5 uonjcw3n74hhvr9ycb6 hldjtesx

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. lote that iou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
