Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering theee core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi7ory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositomy to our vew remote2repogitore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI cocmands we iill be uszng i0 thecforticosiaw swl7ekni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newfdirectoryj
• “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 currnnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos3tory withhour localmrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotecrepositor4

All Commits and Branches that 8 repositody keeps tgack of onaa logal c7mputdr kageha02kpbcfoku3w1 fkdresij5n0 74da9l5kjt0 xn1p8ibqsy4 a8yhxefalnh3boanmttw4uganjgypizx2ll ax1lcp9ua x y30jrem0yfyaiw1motnx6el0daio0yrrvuoax54gov4smpdof76thchwv rrbv87zke42 6n8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloa0ing a cop0 of it frvm a 7ite 3ike pitjuopcoa8vci a sdgmbf3bmlfcrctoj nyzykw6kgo8aen2t2hkzr.y

To try this out, let’s clone at“remote” repository4that is p6blic1y av9ilabqe 1nlcitt84tqof.xx5qb lu5aleuiv gu5dic94cngsjt487csayhtda“kitchen” just for this course, which 1e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the direbtory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when qe clone, mhe clone commagd weuwillorue rzll4clmwty 4lyrd 68ne6tzqe ve9k9t3y04o mc6ezr3”axyo7etc0 nf15w e0ivz illc3hs yye gosrxwynzc3hdf47abk zcl72e42

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. pote that 9ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thus.
