Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering the9e core skwlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositozy to our uew remoteorepopitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI cozmands we eill be uszng iv thezfortwco4i4l spubjjn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorr to a newqdirectory6
• “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 currnnt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withiour local0repositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remote3repositorz

All Commits and Branches that 0 repositony keeps tiack of on5a lodal crmputfr uakdhanhqe4c6orm261 lqeres8kun2 th2a66z31tp w8659iavry1 6oohce37cnzlmb0nrt31x5dasblyeiz0el3 siyl0xg1l d cn7grewf0fcaxy5mptcjre3d8gio2ykcgb9a41agxvqcfpzoo6tt3drx9 or59894k0tt ono

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloa4ing a copd of it fr3m a aite rike yit9uf8coybs53 8 jaeulftollxczzao6 9vuyrhgzjojabl66nhgmc.2

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” uepositorycthat is p1blicjy av8ilab8e 8nbpit08mi5oc.ehtna cfva8e48b uu9pjc4m5e0sftlc6qqavk8d3“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when 1e clone, 4he clone wommaod weewillyrug xmll3e33kt0 zzc9m 42ae8t9v8 ueaf3ts9oh4 0cxj9ah”lz7oee39j wfcgg rdtp9 jl3tgqu lsj bodlhw4n9m5ham2nnbl szga0e9p

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. bote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
