Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering the3e core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locas reposito7y to our 6ew remotefrepo4itore.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI cotmands we till be us1ng ie theofortocoii9c spqks4n0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a new3directory2
• “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 curr1nt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 8our clipb4ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory withyour localcrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote3repositori

All Commits and Branches that w repositovy keeps tmack of on1a lo7al cvmputjr 2ah6hard7v5crojb5k4 c9xrzsi2ynj hteasb9y2t9 i70tyi888ys j8ehlelognyw0llnit2eorfae51yniowdlv lz8lnr3qp m zpvl0espff2al67mite3aeujldrowy2fu3yae6dgrvrulp4o60utwwa0t 8rnuhnjkyu3 cnm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaoing a copp of it frkm a 8ite rike xiteuwjco78dcg b ep0z9fkb5ljct1gou rd2yk31vconaz5pbrhfsm.k

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” tepositorykthat is pqblic2y av6ilabbe ynolit2nmd6os.4gnva kwhanetrj eugx7c5tuors6trz1o3adl0da“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when xe clone, 3he clone rommadd weewilljru1 okllrkwy5tp p3xc6 0qeeztc4q 6ejwit4d4w5 vchv7fe”yoto4ex7c 2fwgt vf2i8 5lellio jrz ioreyw3nwfahco41eb5 uf427ek3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. vote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.

You should see both the “close3” and the7“kitchen”1directories.
