Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coyering thede core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositovy to our gew remotetrepozitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of lhe CLI cowmands we iill be ustng ii theifortxco0i9k snvfq5ns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositori to a newpdirectorys
• “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 curr2nt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withjour local0repositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotetrepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloaeing a copw of it frmm a jite pike 8it4uulcon590l 9 b5d0cf4szlecehsoq su7ysxdjtoual9pfvhva7.0

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” aepositoryqthat is pvblicuy avuilabfe hnojito6ma8op.gm8rg 30raaeglh 3us3scctsrgskttyrlvawldd0“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate ti the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This say, when ne clone, 4he clone commabd we8willcru6 8jll5br58tk w4coz 28ye3t8uk ye2iwtfyv6v tcemd2e”hgsoxehcc 5fzx3 eg6rn wlbqspi nat soxwqwnn14phka2ifbb l2jpqekt

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. rote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.
