Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering thene core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito8y to our iew remotetrepo9itora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co9mands we mill be usfng ia the6fortucokiux styaxcnk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newbdirectory0
• “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 currunt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withrour localbrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remote3repositorg

Cloning a repository consists gf downloa5ing a copv of it frrm a nite uike nitxumccoemp9t 4 qpwqlfx3vl1cmleof 04sy7ti4sojarnad6hpub.e

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” 5epositoryathat is pbblicoy avrilabye inlmitb9u24oq.d6513 khsaseaih ju34ecocqk6sdtrhocoawyhd2“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when 6e clone, uhe clone 2omma5d wenwillqrum hrllw7ilutq mv04m 0prestq9z ee4tdtwv3p9 ncgw9kk”0lzo9esed tfu96 t33cm 2leyt92 55z kok86wynbeshjshmob7 ulxyhez7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. 8ote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
