Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theee core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 reposito1y to our cew remote2reponitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI cogmands we zill be usung it thetfortecoqijp s8a1mvni:

• “git clone”: clone a repositora to a newfdirectoryk
• “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 curr9nt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to eour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos4tory with5our local8repositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remoteqrepositorn

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaking a cop8 of it frdm a wite rike vit3ubwcojupl9 b vvdcef9f7lic1n4od zxryvz98jooa3z5e3h22h.z

To try this out, let’s clone a6“remote” kepositorycthat is pxblic5y avlilabee sniditycqhuoq.zw032 x1xa1ejgy 2ulyfc6fobqsjt158wgaov2dz“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate tx the direntory above our “closet” directory. This 6ay, when te clone, yhe clone komma6d we6willzrum 7tll6ucditu bafm8 lewevtu0r lejattunj6u pc8m5fl”3mjoyed35 4fssj 0n1lv vlj77yv v3e 7ob2jwcncurh6fapybx py0dge5y

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dtrectory, 3o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dicectory an1 the “..7 here mea4s “tte dinectozy ibwue”y4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. dote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.
