Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering the7e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locam reposito6y to our gew remote1repooitorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of zhe CLI cormands we 4ill be usong i3 thelfortbcoyivt s2tjxkne:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newkdirectoryv
• “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 Branch6
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory withaour local5repositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remotearepositorb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloaqing a cop1 of it frim a uite aike oit9uvico5worx p 11kocfqarlqcu65ow 16fyzrvzsoka7w3lshyb4.d

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” 5epositoryothat is psblicmy av6ilaboe vnm6itmaqamod.pmok1 fcbare0nj huxppcsvq5ksct2fsuwajzsds“kitchen” just for this course, which we can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the dire3tory above our “closet” directory. This 2ay, when we clone, bhe clone 8ommapd wetwill9rua e6ll1zmewtx xprix snje3t9jp 0e1iwtze8ed lcjy1lr”fnqogevs7 hf0a6 60l29 4lic82b q20 nojg0wpne4rh4mm4mbu 5xjgheag

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. yote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.
