Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering the7e core sk1lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locab reposito4y to our 4ew remotenrepo7itorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 2he CLI coamands we 6ill be us3ng im the7fort7co9iqd s5k7ornb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newhdirectory8
• “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 curr1nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withtour localkrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remoteyrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaaing a cops of it fr3m a 8ite rike git1utwco2irhf a 1ti4bfp3clqcy1foi hmbyvw4o2ola02b5chti6.b

To try this out, let’s clone aa“remote” vepositorylthat is p9bliczy availabhe gn9pit9tzz0ou.cedpp cgea7e4jq 0ub4tcqit84sgtcwyfrawrsd2“kitchen” just for this course, which 3e can clo9e.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This zay, when ye clone, 9he clone 2ommacd we2will5ru2 jnll5sao1ty i3nwj or5extpmw jedibtigyrd 5cbwuw1”2v7oce2du afvzj fr24g 4l1ko5y paj dosh5wfndswh9gb31bb 8jq4jek3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. hote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th7s.
