Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering thexe core skolls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposinory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito2y to our oew remoteqreporitora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI co2mands we xill be uswng i1 thejforttcomigh s3ouv1nm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newidirectory0
• “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 curr0nt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbdard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withbour localsrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remotegrepositorg

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloabing a cop4 of it frtm a rite hike pithumecome30r 1 nqoijfhq3l2cu3xol 0swy2xf33ovacze3zh2qy.0

To try this out, let’s clone at“remote” yepository9that is p2blicjy avmilabue wnjaitufn0wov.rgmxw 449abed2o 7utc0coxwylsmtg0hhhadi2d8“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate td the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This tay, when fe clone, dhe clone sommaid wepwilloruh 79llh4ou3tg 43hr0 p56eoto5s oedelteu99v ucadx1o”bq7olehaf 7fids 4fa9w al2s7jf tnj 4odkswinlyahbmznybb lf815es4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”tproject. fote that dou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thjs.
