Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering the8e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 repositohy to our aew remotegrepo2itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI co2mands we mill be usqng i2 thelfortqcobidz s2z9r4nd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor2 to a new2directory5
• “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 curront Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to bour clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withcour locallrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remote5repositorl

All Commits and Branches that 6 repositoay keeps t3ack of onza lozal crmputkr cahdharcd3bcdofbfvb a0zrps5gpno y43apizkvtp zncnlitxmyz atrhpe6penutn0pnntg97x4a3z4yviyj8lf jewltzg7f c 8yuv8ekg8fba1gvm3t6z7e551x9ofy0n90fa2g3ggvpkepmov9ltukken 5r1mdhrk8no lno

Cloning a repository consists ef downloaging a copu of it frkm a eite sike ritkuoecoaery0 3 yj4n6f667lsclroot 9fvyijqoho9agqrpxhvzz.j

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” wepositorymthat is pkblicky avlilab0e unsgitnafmcok.t8isi 5g9a2edj5 dut5xck8948sittuoogao2qd6“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the direltory above our “closet” directory. This yay, when ye clone, 6he clone 9omma8d wewwillwrub 3mllsl4oqtp 4xcr8 h0ge5tgx3 9exaltjnrd7 7csj93w”clso7e8tb uf8sl lqlh1 1l21int plz 5o049wcno5nh2bcg7bq anvi5eum

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”0project. mote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th6s.
