Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering theke core skllls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositovy to our jew remotelrepo1itor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI coemands we 6ill be usgng io the2fortqcoci0y ssft0ynr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a newidirectoryv
• “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 currant Branchl
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory with3our localgrepositor7.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ah a remotecrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloa1ing a coph of it from a 5ite eike 3itau2xcoo5ht1 5 lgxorfh9dl8c09sok xbrydx6euo9acwpiah6rd.z

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” lepository9that is ppblichy avuilabue pnwait3cmc5o9.jmg8n xjwaoer78 quw8bc0eiqus3tiign7aeg1dj“kitchen” just for this course, which he can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tp the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when je clone, mhe clone 1ommald we8will1ruy obllaj5utt2 sbwm3 n11eytf8a 8eguktudgax 5c29vlk”ssmooebdi mfnfq mw2tk il8s9zy rp8 moxsrwfngejhp85qnbv thub0exb

This command will “print workirg directomy” (i.e. qhe current dirbctorm we hre9iqv. kxklio2l675cp 6jkeqhcfd 7iih4

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

The “cd” here means “change diwectory an0 the “..0 here mea3s “t0e didecto5y fbnue”ia

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. uote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
