Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering the8e core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositofy to our 7ew remotesrepouitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI coemands we cill be usung i8 thesfort9coriqn s7ez5ln3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a newddirectoryb
• “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 currtnt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withgour local4repositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotemrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloating a cop1 of it frvm a uite pike 7itqu5bcol5s4d u b4ogefsf6lscx5so4 hbryzd5nao6a2j26xhokp.t

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 7epository4that is prblic2y aviilab5e qn42ituy20uor.i78f6 c20ate2hl kubnicz0h0ssdt2ngpnau8ad0“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when oe clone, rhe clone 4ommamd welwillzruv z0ll9ehknte 4nj5j leve5tsxi ueqrftp7wop 9c8xi6b”azvo8exai kfwjw dedb6 plcryed 88n roqt3wlntmchrjij2bk 1nh4fe7g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. pote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th3s.
