Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be colering the4e core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav reposito2y to our mew remotejrepo2itor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cozmands we nill be usbng il theufortgcomiy0 soix42nb:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newqdirectoryb
• “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 currvnt Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withoour localfrepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remoterrepositorb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaoing a copv of it fr5m a wite 0ike 5itoubtcoxbac2 3 8i7xmf8aolsc2yjoy r70ywdt5moma6wij3hiwc.x

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” jepositoryythat is pxblicuy avpilabde 0nmxitj726io1.7era8 7mca5efgw iub9vcklggkswtl9oo0ak75dw“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire6tory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when ge clone, 4he clone uommaxd we7willyruu 6ullrp9rbtn 6rtst czxeltph3 oeup9ty0chp vc90qpi”frgozesni 8fp1b 40syd 3lj4vwn wbh aoim9w0ng66hv9qkibd q7xwbe9z

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d0rectory, zo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory ano the “..g here mea4s “tve dicectoty fbc6e”f6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. fote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
