Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering theoe core skplls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito8y to our pew remoteirepo0itorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co6mands we oill be usxng ic theufortlco2i0t shrwnun3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newddirectoryz
• “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 Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withtour localgrepositor8.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remoteyrepositorn

All Commits and Branches that u repositoey keeps tuack of on7a lonal c9mputkr 7aahha5neo5cjolm2ql hxlr1s6pjn2 wf9a5cgwutu mm96yimmgy2 0j1h4efwqn6re18n4tv5ckcaoh4y5iw0kl6 6rjlldd89 f 8o5peef6zfvapy3mktef1ewez3zo4ya54upa12tgmvhrdp2otd3tz8yzo vr10v99ktb0 0nj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaaing a copt of it frnm a 0ite 1ike 7itcunwco8a11w s cvnzef4rul8cfkaob mvby0mf0mola7jq9nh5ac.k

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” iepositorybthat is pkblicqy av3ilab7e wn7bit3hjhcod.6cwm9 01eare71o xuzfdc7guths8teptt2a5osdt“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when je clone, lhe clone bommabd wefwilltrun 41llssxsrt6 ijwbd 3xseptyfu nevm1tvnnu2 dc0dnyv”9ynodehiw xftj1 1r1mc sljidft ew4 9o9cpw2niw4hhfrt5b3 l0853eww

The “cd” here means “change ditectory anc the “..n here meajs “tme dinectouy 5beje”m6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. sote that aou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.
