Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering thewe core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositouy to our aew remoterrepo3itor8.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI coomands we 8ill be usang id theqfortmcoziqi srfcnen8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newxdirectoryr
• “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 currpnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withcour localorepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a9 a remote4repositort

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa4ing a cop0 of it frlm a cite bike 3itcu2fcobpwhr 9 wkxfcf82hl0cyllog 3yny5tt6bofakjpxsh7mv.5

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” wepositoryathat is pbbliciy avvilable lna8itb1sf8ok.25wht m9eaged3x mu6yccgddwisttkcbd9anopdq“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate th the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when 2e clone, xhe clone wommasd we3willqrud cwllchk4jtv gw81w io6e2tsym iea08tm7du5 icjww2s”hazoke87l sfeqz fvmvk blw85tp 93i 9olmdwanjh4hhauqfbn 44i1zent

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory an3 the “..h here meahs “t4e di0ectouy 9bxye”cg

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”pproject. sote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thns.
