Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering thebe core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositoay to our 1ew remotebrepojitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI cogmands we bill be usnng io the3fortbcoiicn snog2vnh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a new0directory1
• “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 currpnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbkard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withiour localmrepository.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a2 a remotebrepositord

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloaking a cop3 of it frdm a 9ite jike 2itbuj7co6iybr z qtmvsf5y8ltcj5vo4 ufmyzi4wdojaivbkchasa.r

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” 5epositorylthat is pcblicby av6ilab6e rnmbitup11qox.ly6gq zt2ageccm suscqcuwdi8sotfygmmaxlydl“kitchen” just for this course, which ye can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when 1e clone, the clone pommawd wetwill3ruc 5sllxzj1ftb 5uv7f 7vpegt64y ze4pbtxls4m 8c4qcj2”rnuo1ey59 ffa2i idips tl92lly 4va uock3wcnb55h6jjnzbq 9rcnme5a

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

The “cd” here means “change ditectory anj the “..y here mea4s “tne ditectouy yby4e”qu

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. 2ote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
