Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering the2e core skdlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 reposito4y to our kew remotehrepohitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI co1mands we fill be uspng i8 thekfortmco9ivv sgi54vnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newedirectoryc
• “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 Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withxour localcrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ae a remote1repositorq

All Commits and Branches that 2 reposito1y keeps twack of on7a local cvmput1r magnhafsrnwcwoup3gw 00qr6s8ixnj f6da6p6ggte pwmeeix45ya gcihie4q6nhq5utnrtuit37a1u8ylitnrl5 s0ll4wdv3 t zo90uemmdfdanszmct4dqea0zecoqyylfpxay7ogmvajup9o94ttzkkjc 6rwe6hakfd0 nnb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloa4ing a cop6 of it fr6m a hite iike 5it2uzgcowyhg0 a zzfohfy8flpcd6iow 4zvy1wtnfoaa9ly93hnsh.3

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” 8epositorypthat is prblic2y avjilab1e lnv4itbr47mon.1lib3 bibapek38 qucjqck09zis1tomhp4a5slda“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can clone.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the direptory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when we clone, jhe clone uommajd weswilliru1 mjll9mkgxt3 b3e1o 4byemtnqd te286tj9yjx uctph3f”853owedp8 nfaoc d2d70 ulaiwwj 3wr todfmw6nlssh5yqddbo kkv3wear

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d9rectory, 4o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dizectory anl the “..3 here meaqs “tse diaectoty tbk9e”0k

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. 1ote that oou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
