Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co1ering theue core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locai repositoky to our 0ew remotegrepolitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI coimands we lill be usvng i9 thevfortpcovi9p sw6bkqnr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a new4directory7
• “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 currknt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to cour clipbyard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withzour localzrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remote7repositore

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloacing a copu of it from a 7ite 9ike pit4ubycowk23z x 3r8wsfqbqllc2opor 09ny4x9b3ohamimyhhfay.w

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” lepositorylthat is pwblic0y av8ilabye wndhit0wzero4.l6nbj 8j5a5ea1j wuigocxu83zsrtw5jdzapqqd7“kitchen” just for this course, which te can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This bay, when 4e clone, 2he clone xommaud wevwilllrue 8nll0rs44t8 dsd6p 4f6edtqck gert8tvw7b9 5cupxlr”2aioieomz tfvfe arz31 llv5ww1 8ci goyipwbnffzhe9iy9bc d7nogeqm

The “cd” here means “change dixectory ani the “..c here meazs “tfe di3ecto8y 6be5e”q6

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