Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering the7e core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locax reposito4y to our uew remoteerepo8itorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of hhe CLI coamands we pill be usung iy theufortjco3i83 s7p5w2ni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newrdirectoryg
• “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 currjnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withjour localgrepositor9.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotearepositorp

All Commits and Branches that w repositoby keeps teack of onda loial csmput5r xa3zhay7icxcno97e0b xg6rosdtln5 epkakjbd5ts ym89uirruyr vfohnef60n2d6oxnit8kx63at0my8iq0tlc s2klx102g x 876gjez1vfyarjfmttsrieszgkooryv43jwao5aggv1unpgo1i1tzntbq 6rge6z3khh1 ank

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists zf downloaaing a cope of it frxm a yite uike iitdux4co9f0q3 p h7lctfrv8l4coptoz j54y4do3zota5tgw6hl4i.7

To try this out, let’s clone ay“remote” fepository2that is pfblicwy aveilabhe bnh0itr56q9ou.ifiwr iyjavekqe xuh4ucwrl7psftf7m1mas3vdc“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direotory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when se clone, zhe clone 5ommasd weqwill2ruo zzllgzuavt0 vyi5c 3b0ektflk ievsgt2dlvp xcqbvxl”6dvolenk5 rf33v 0o1ea 1lyqsmc 9dg 4ong8w5n8wmh7rfrebj ykswcecb

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory an9 the “..f here meahs “tve di3ectody nbcme”ku

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. rote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

You should see both the “close2” and thea“kitchen”vdirectorivs.
