Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering thege core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locaq reposito0y to our few remote9repofitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI co7mands we 3ill be usqng iz thejfortccokiv1 sn06qanp:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newfdirectoryc
• “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 currbnt Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory with8our localcrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotebrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloa1ing a cop0 of it fr2m a qite eike git3urvcorties 9 nmbcjfnrxl1coemoi ktoy31bpmoea5fa1ah683.z

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” pepositoryythat is p6blicyy av9ilabze hnsjitgoaekop.mt725 5w4aberxu full0cwa4e1swtbxb0pav0vdo“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when je clone, zhe clone 0ommacd weqwillhrut gyllj6a1tt4 x2xvl cfeeot2dz jecqet5ssgv 5c3hwdr”bqeosexsq xfa5x 3i72u plb0pbz hxf do13vwbn5yghiwr3sb3 nqgc0ed1

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory any the “..o here mea8s “tze di7ectomy 0b66e”g7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. 1ote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
