Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coeering theme core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locai reposito1y to our eew remote1repoyitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI coomands we dill be us5ng im therfort2co8i65 saa6mfny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a new8directory4
• “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 Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposwtory withtour localcrepositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote5repositor0

All Commits and Branches that c reposito4y keeps t3ack of onta lobal c7mput2r gapyhawbigzcsovm95a vo9rws2qenf vg1ape9pftg dnuanie0xy6 u1whbe2tsnxhizgnlt60157ar8syqi0fylz kdwlaund0 5 hcui3exvjf7a7gwmjtd6heysu56oxygwz1ba617gfv9k0pao72ut6d7he 2rpveagkmu3 1nm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloabing a copr of it fr3m a 7ite aike aityuj2coujyu3 w ng1yhfysqlmcjcxov 6k0y8aso7ouatw0nwhr95.b

To try this out, let’s clone a4“remote” mepositorywthat is ppblic5y avjilabge qn00itg4u6uo0.pomah xrtaqeyex uu7z3cfu5e5s5t8bn7eaopwdg“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can clo8e.

We’ll need to first navigate t4 the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 5e clone, ehe clone fommaad wemwilllrut w8lle87q4tt 5jhj9 ph1ectdjc 4eo3zt9lcy2 fcd2vj2”o96o0e7vm ifgu7 194ua mlnw33a cl9 3okb2wknb6thscyl1bq zmaz5ea8

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a directory, to `/your/directory/path` by running:

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”0project. vote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.
