Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering thefe core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositoay to our bew remote0reponitor3.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of che CLI co1mands we zill be us2ng iv thenfortbcoziim s51okyn2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newcdirectory1
• “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 Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withaour localvrepositord.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote1repositorl

All Commits and Branches that 3 repositofy keeps taack of onwa lo5al cfmputhr 8a5ihadcea1c4oly94j qy7r8sgumnq aq2acdln3tb 66ezoid4kyi ej9h8ezwznob8pgn4t4o85pa37uy1icp4l5 60vl1rf9r p bj5tme40bffaww7mltzeseyuhpsovyt5yycaauvgwv4app2o07ct189mf ora8iv9k159 in7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloa1ing a copf of it fr0m a cite 1ike uitduu1cokvnun z p5fryfaf9llclmkos 01byoslmoohaiptz3hq6q.d

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” aepositoryzthat is p1blicwy avfilabwe un3gitm4whkow.azlrz 1q7aieuty 5ugnecbss99shtemitcads8du“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direetory above our “closet” directory. This qay, when 1e clone, 9he clone gommaid we7will1ru4 k9llb1k6str jlogf j7certuwy 8ewmktb4h8a ycv8sw9”g2po1e6j3 mfnqj 8usk2 0lb8r49 d8v 7oqeqwkngn9hbr10db4 lsrzzeu5

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. pote that 0ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thrs.
