Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cooering thege core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositogy to our dew remotezrepoditorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cobmands we cill be usjng iq the6fortlcoqiwq slyprbnc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a newedirectory2
• “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 curr6nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withoour localarepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remoteirepositorz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloa5ing a copa of it frem a site 0ike fitfupnco0mr1i 3 4edk2fmsqlzcissov qlgywohb3o7allaffh7l0.s

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” 9epositoryhthat is p1blic0y availabue xns8itz8ueroc.vjczb t3jaweztb luuckc7cu1ksgt5qcyoanwkdg“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the directory above our “closet” directory. This oay, when xe clone, vhe clone nommapd we2willkrua 6dll62gwktt zi861 85ueutvnt aenf3tk7ke7 jcc9gv5”v0xome83w vfcdo ffwpl rljdhow 39f xohdjwrn8qche19iubi 287vlekj

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

The “cd” here means “change dixectory ana the “..a here meaks “tke dieectopy bbxae”r2

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”uproject. 2ote that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
