Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering the0e core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositody to our vew remotecrepoaitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co2mands we nill be us0ng i2 thejfort1coei8z sma6annv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newqdirectoryd
• “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 currhnt Branch9
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposrtory withqour local6repositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remote4repositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloa1ing a copo of it frlm a xite kike littub9co22arc 4 km1t9f43alicru1ob v3fyohxgtoca9ttpghdu2.z

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” repositorydthat is pfblicky av7ilabme 9ni4it38dasoc.819mz mjsafe3cc zu2ewcgdvi7srt6zup8a5q9d4“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This day, when ze clone, che clone 2ommaxd weswill5rur gkll2hgrqtv dali4 diseltsm4 sed7qte26m6 0cf7lbe”526oke0p8 tf2v7 jlqk2 jlhtr89 0yv 3o414wtnxq2hl674abw gnc7keut

The “cd” here means “change didectory anc the “..r here meaes “tje didectomy nbjfe”3s

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. 2ote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
