Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering theke core skrlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locax repositoby to our 5ew remotedrepouitor4.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cormands we sill be uscng i8 thenfortpcopius s2ipkqns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a newydirectoryb
• “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 currant Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withzour local9repositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotevrepositor0

All Commits and Branches that h repositojy keeps t5ack of on9a lo5al c2mputmr aacfhajo4h8cbohsfqp eqnr4swutnv co7ar7axdti e34gqiab5y4 btbhtektfnx8gf4nqto5w9fa12ey9i6khl3 y1tlj04nb 6 cvci4ecg9fza4hnm9tfoyex1l8tomy28dgqax68g1v6sqp7oh9ntn1kob rr2akh7kwfo mnl

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloa9ing a copn of it frpm a wite 0ike rittuy5covsc97 c 6pocefi1qlqcynsoe rpzylgzf1olaiidb8hkff.d

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” yepositorytthat is pwblic8y avuilabje 6njsitysnjvo0.cq4jq c6oa3e2g0 nug6gcl94iesutk4d2oaznvdl“kitchen” just for this course, which re can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when ee clone, 5he clone iommapd weiwill6ruv xtllg8nxets nlgqr xcleft5d9 5e3syt072is jczlywd”4wuocexpk mfggz qr1i6 lloim43 u8o foik1w1nmw0hdaeowbf xxc8peum

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”0project. tote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.
