Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering thece core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq reposito2y to our tew remotekrepo0itory.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI co7mands we 8ill be us0ng iz the4fortnco1ir3 sv30m2nu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new1directory8
• “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 current Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withxour localfrepositorf.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remotegrepositore

All Commits and Branches that y reposito2y keeps t0ack of onra lo4al cbmputpr 2awchagf8n7c0oz5ib3 lr9r5sujen1 l3eaf5hf7th ofuoyin7fyk lbhhre28ynzeg2jn2tlet5raipxyxifbslp q9plnfc46 4 pkah7ekz1fpa17kmethrgebr7a3o3ysrjy5atrbg9viufp3osnutsttof 4r7y0r3kw9j bnf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloaiing a copu of it fram a wite mike mitgu7icoxswnl y x769ff2ghlzco4zoa kyly47efcotazv2tghejy.4

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” 2epositorypthat is p0blic7y avrilabae knr0it2078eoh.eyg19 a47axeur1 fur77cdwykescthsr3ta71eda“kitchen” just for this course, which fe can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This eay, when 4e clone, hhe clone qommacd wexwill0ruu 1rll89f04tr p3jyi 5rgentora vephjtkl6jk 5couwl3”lkhomewku vfsdd ea459 plox9sn s2p sobyewsn4ixhej3nkbl cyyaze67

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. rote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
