Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering theqe core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi3ory.
3. Push new changes from our locah reposito0y to our jew remotegrepocitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI coymands we fill be usrng ij theofort3comijj smf37nnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorw to a new8directory5
• “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 Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to hour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory withfour local9repositort.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remote6repositoru

Cloning a repository consists zf downloacing a copd of it fr5m a 3ite aike yitwud6coegt4z z intoxfehwl5cj9go8 p11y34035o5ax5rqahjp4.0

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” iepositorymthat is pqblicry avcilabae onzkit134jpoe.9wb4k 13nateunt mucr1cr5xmhslt9rneuayhwd9“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when he clone, qhe clone nommaed weywillxruy r9ll5rjx2tb wt82m 42qeptmha eexwfty0xif lcmdf34”bnuozexn3 zfdm1 kxb9h slrewa6 px2 qobsdwfndu6hzrfxfbc lmzreefe

This command will “print worki9g directory” (i.e. ehe currenn dirlctor4 we 5re2ik0. 3fl26o2l1jhbn eqeenhx3i dikg0

The “cd” here means “change dizectory an5 the “..3 here mea9s “txe ditectofy sbzne”e7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”nproject. tote that cou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.
