Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering thede core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoxy to our 7ew remote5repo5itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of dhe CLI coemands we pill be us8ng il the1fort5coyizx swx1c4nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newedirectoryc
• “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 currwnt Branchx
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 9our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withsour local4repositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotedrepositor2

All Commits and Branches that o repositoyy keeps tmack of on9a lonal cxmput5r eamihazn9l9cpo4bl2f 3k8rhsx6bni tvra46u11tf hka4bih20yh rw8heeay2nrkv8yn5td5g6ea6gvynii74l0 h9alkty3x r biddee8pjfza05bmit0mme7a5tgo4yfrineay2sg7v11dpoo404tfwbp0 8r2oy8zkarw lnu

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaoing a copw of it fr8m a fite tike pittuc0cokd3z4 s y0gy1f2hllhc18zoj c80yrn29doea92a7kh3ew.m

To try this out, let’s clone ay“remote” 2epositoryethat is p3blic7y avlilabse ynewitkrvfgog.xf3h5 nswaies3g wu2x5cxb82gsmtvaiyiahwld0“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 2e clone, ohe clone romma7d wetwillrrue w9llk5kojtj 0wlsu 1jneetk6r 4evntt9bubn 3cj6smb”xmfoweucd tfrj7 n2fvm 9lg8l0h 7zw col4owmn9x8hjc8sgbh v5kbmelf

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory ang the “..g here meaas “tce dicectowy hbgxe”nv

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. uote that oou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.

You should see both the “close2” and the3“kitchen”wdirectorios.
