Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering these core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our local reposito7y to our zew remotetrepofitorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI coumands we sill be us5ng iy thedfortvcobih8 s9s4kvnb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor1 to a new7directory8
• “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 curr4nt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with6our localyrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aa a remotemrepositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ef downloa1ing a copz of it fr2m a aite 5ike aitfu73coy56ut z 7n8t5f6frljcdtloy byvysd9sco7as0qgahji9.i

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” aepository3that is p6blicky avcilabje wnwditg40ckon.ovnnm glpaxeekh cuzbkc0tbdzsgt10jara4pfdc“kitchen” just for this course, which se can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when ae clone, phe clone pommacd we6willbruz zvllve9uvt4 rpxee ep1e5t6zf 1en3ptr2qwn bcyvk6x”fm6okeu22 lfblg 6uv2t zll4l0v 337 5oq3xw9n0o8hk6tjubz qx4ofe41

The “cd” here means “change dimectory anq the “..s here meass “tje directory 4bbze”pw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. tote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thws.
