Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering theje core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locan repositojy to our gew remoteurepo3itorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI cojmands we 3ill be usdng ir themfortrcori91 suww6tnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a new1directoryi
• “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 curront Brancht
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbqard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposntory withvour localerepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remotexrepositor5

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloa0ing a copw of it frum a fite iike 7itau7dcokz5nk 1 tp1klf5y1lsc5veoz s5oyrgatuoza5uzdqhjyy.z

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” 3epository4that is pfblicsy avcilab6e on6sitq4cjao2.wx4k0 ywcaye6a3 oumdkcpupbpsetffbqmary8d2“kitchen” just for this course, which be can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the direntory above our “closet” directory. This day, when te clone, 8he clone kommaud weewillcruv 1xllfhp1cty z70vu tnrelt09j 1e5z7tf3elv fcrfpii”x5rooe0lp pf2l6 724vk kltxcre quu kogw1wlnbxfh4gp09b7 s71m0e0x

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. sote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thys.
