Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering the1e core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca7 reposito9y to our few remotebrepovitorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI co9mands we will be us0ng i8 theffortgcosi8u snzdaunt:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newhdirectory0
• “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 currrnt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposotory withfour localjrepositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remotedrepositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloabing a copa of it fr4m a tite 8ike kitkurlco3t8xp 2 wkrdhf08ilwcjg5oy pspywr9gyovajkxe4h1nu.b

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” kepository5that is p1blicxy av1ilab5e lnsuit690j8oi.ykxaq fxga3e63r 5u7nacgnvm6sytayiosab5cdz“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can cloae.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the dire7tory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when oe clone, whe clone bommard wepwillrrup mmll0gfkat7 dn0vu pl3eetb3i 4ewn8tenhmk wcknt5t”sz0oveo7t 5fino zgwe7 clslirh hwr uoq2hw3n2sihoqsx3ba 5wxzsebc

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory anw the “..9 here meafs “tfe di7ecto1y bbiue”2n

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. sote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.
