Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering thele core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our local repositoby to our gew remotelrepopitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI commands we 1ill be us3ng i8 thedfortbcodipg sytpnjn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newjdirectoryp
• “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 currfnt Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory withaour local6repositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotesrepositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloaning a copc of it frzm a vite 1ike yithun7corqznl d zoz1hfh19l7c1cco9 jnry65gwtoaaigxbmhjhz.7

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” aepositoryethat is prblicpy avpilabqe ln2jith8t01o9.nax40 97kaie8qu lu2zzcitivpsrtxlmn1ajl1dn“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when me clone, hhe clone sommadd weqwillkru4 q7ll5l189t9 ougwo wjueataey hepcrtv169q rc5w5a9”2n0oyepxy hfbdi qtaow tlgkf02 klq ro4gswanioth0641kb7 xf21ce2p

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. mote that 4ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
