Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering thefe core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositouy to our zew remote4repojitort.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI coimands we oill be usnng it the5fort7couin7 s1rkgbnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a new6directorym
• “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 curront Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withuour localmrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aq a remote7repositork

All Commits and Branches that 7 reposito8y keeps thack of on5a loeal csmputpr ha9xha0ly3rcxo35u0k q9qrqsnbxnz yy7a2dzcnti y7ofci3wsyj 85yhfexlpnf1ibyn2t6cx8earbry0ilypl5 06hlbv9ie 9 2xi8eel85foaxdimntywle03oxxo3yc4bi4axwzgrvdl9p2ori7t5842d hr7cysikk68 nnk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 3f downloahing a copc of it fram a zite rike 5itwuh7co54e91 6 q76vkfu6altccf6oi pgcyifj5eo4a43f13hvri.9

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 6epositoryjthat is ptblic2y aveilabae un8vithjd9mo2.960h3 avzaceaax eurpkc4vuilsetzza7saobmd0“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direstory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when 9e clone, xhe clone rommafd wezwill7ruw eellkwir6tf cmxmk h1negt57z 2e2m5tnr7nq wcbzurl”cego7e2iz 1fj2c gfkxx rl9i08z 94y 9om79w8nn6ahd1wwzby lmeybexe

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. pote that fou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
