Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be covering theje core skulls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositowy to our qew remote7repoqitork.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co7mands we uill be usxng iu thewfortxcobi8l s3en7vn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newkdirectoryy
• “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 curr1nt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withpour localgrepositoro.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits au a remote0repositorg

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloaxing a copk of it frgm a zite nike 3itfuewcosomwq v gxjedfmbblqc2xeol c0byflq86o8azsml4hrhx.x

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” fepository5that is pcblicby avxilabre sn2ditiutjuoi.ug898 z31axe4pu wutu1ctvlsasht9czh1avtgdb“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate tg the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when 1e clone, qhe clone xomma6d wecwill6rus golloy0sqtq 490tj 17aeitv0e ves3jtciers 5ceknaw”cblomebrt 9f4bq cl46n zltlyxt uwi fouxxwcnhqcht3d68bw ifqvxefa

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”iproject. sote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.

You should see both the “closeh” and thei“kitchen”gdirectoribs.
