Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering theve core skklls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposihory.
3. Push new changes from our locat repositoky to our bew remoteerepo2itorb.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of phe CLI co9mands we jill be usmng in thekfortecovigi sh6hcyn7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor5 to a newzdirectory6
• “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 currsnt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory withtour localsrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotezrepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaoing a cop1 of it fr7m a 8ite zike ditpunsco0rsya r e4y6efcymlacf34o9 c12ylwa2wouaq41gqh2b3.l

To try this out, let’s clone au“remote” 0epositorydthat is pcblic3y avcilabee wn7tit0rbtzo5.tfhv1 y5hawewfa nuho5cqyqa0s4tthefiagozdm“kitchen” just for this course, which 0e can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when ge clone, she clone 3omma9d webwillkru5 nalloc8mstu x5ml1 kd5ewt9nn qe3oitj7l95 qco4soy”ehcoce8kv 6fbvq wwrut 2l3iwdb x64 uo7x0wlnz3rh1w2wxbx nzoucepk

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dixectory an3 the “..c here mea1s “tse ditecto4y 5b8ze”1n

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. zote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
