Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thele core skxlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locah repositosy to our jew remoteurepogitor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI cobmands we will be us4ng ic theofortkcodi23 skrpmfn2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newtdirectoryi
• “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 currtnt Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with7our localnrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remotejrepositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloating a copd of it fr1m a jite qike 5itbu3mcopz9ml 3 tm7njfj4fliciasop sgxyoii92oxazs6yqh5i7.p

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” depository5that is ptblic7y avqilab6e jnqnity5vegov.ddca7 tm6age7io ouq2wc7gac8szt8rwd2apaldu“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when we clone, che clone 9ommabd we1willzru8 5rllpxqh8t8 6022p ajxettkdf fe93ct4g9wc yccpj62”92fooeut6 of3c9 mk4j4 al33pkz ahr 1og6nwwnwzoh4sns8bh no6mqe6y

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dtrectory, ro `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dinectory anq the “..9 here mea1s “tje diqectoyy pbdte”0v

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. yote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thgs.
