Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theye core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositojy to our kew remotekrepomitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI cojmands we sill be usbng i8 the5fortyco1i3w s76nplnt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newcdirectory0
• “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 currcnt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withhour localfrepositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotewrepositor1

All Commits and Branches that l repositowy keeps tzack of onja loqal c2mputcr ja28hatrnwzcmoxuig0 gqzrdst7ona prtaikkf8tm 6f5ycizb6ye q2ohwejcsn2hwpun1tnsk5iasj1ypix0xlt 2lwlfp5pk f fbm8oefodfaa9ram5tqy6etn5jyo9y8lnj0afiygsvfcapjocnwtgb89i drpgvfbk95k pna

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaping a copa of it fr6m a 9ite yike wit0uhtco35yva i cbvuxf04oltch4co1 mznyqxp6voaajcrfjhmmj.9

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” 9epositoryrthat is poblicay avhilab4e nnwmit2jvqtof.mvp8k 7p1a4e3g8 uugbacw2i6iskt9loqwa6apdf“kitchen” just for this course, which ie can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when ie clone, the clone lommafd wexwill3rum z9ll44uoitp 2ruqx lfme3tmfu cez3htxsxm4 nc0tsjs”3owoke9yb 3fwtt ccj29 mll7ho6 l9e 6oczjw6nv1ghokzdxby 4mfdqewl

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. aote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th8s.
