Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering theqe core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 repositosy to our zew remoteorepolitoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI co7mands we zill be usrng im thewfortsco1ii4 sawl1gn2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newddirectory6
• “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 current Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory withxour localfrepositorn.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remote4repositorz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists yf downloaeing a cop5 of it frgm a kite 9ike zitcu77cosm50d z 8zrg3flpzlvcqwcok dbeyrxaojoya5elaahioc.6

To try this out, let’s clone an“remote” mepositorykthat is pnblicxy availab6e hnw3itosgctol.na2k1 5fiare8zw budlqcphyzaslticer3agiwdt“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate t3 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ie clone, khe clone qommadd wegwill6rue 1rlldynh1tk r8z4s ivpe3tah4 aeenat5p1fa xcgsu9s”wppo0ex9c zfrul t4cmk gl7hpsi vt4 lo498wjnpmxhttq89bt fy88xeih

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d7rectory, yo `/your/directory/path` by running:

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”1project. 5ote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
