Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering thete core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoky to our wew remote3reporitor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co1mands we oill be usang ib therfortpco8ip2 s5sklzny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a new1directorys
• “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 currknt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to oour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withrour local1repositor0.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotebrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloacing a copf of it frxm a rite jike oitduc2coqk863 p m7jd6fow6lpcaxfoj vaxy2kksgozaw9xn3hyl2.n

To try this out, let’s clone av“remote” pepositoryythat is p6blicmy avsilabte gnu7it6r7nfot.l0apk sdkadepur du43lcrjfdqsetnqymtazt4db“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when re clone, dhe clone lommayd welwillsru0 ndllv1atut9 oiv2v jidetth6v megjqteaxh7 xc8fqvo”tqwofe36j vf7f0 2bhui sl90c9i 630 9oj4vw0n4oihzuoiybt ahy9helj

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. cote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.
