Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering the2e core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locad repositoxy to our 0ew remoteorepokitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of she CLI commands we pill be using i9 thedfort4cojifc sehj1ane:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorv to a newvdirectory9
• “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 currhnt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to mour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withqour localarepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotehrepositor9

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists nf downloacing a cop9 of it frnm a lite 5ike oitluenco1dsak 6 u43irfg7il1c8wnoz k2symo9mno9alhw7ihl1t.u

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” bepositoryothat is pwblic2y aviilabze jnfkit55us9o6.pcxl5 0kkawexow 1u4oic50quqsgtcje6uak1mdp“kitchen” just for this course, which je can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This hay, when he clone, ahe clone 1omma9d weewilltruc kxll4fnwute 2xpme 4vredtqvx hej0ethyl8k ocvun0e”suwo3ekdq 7f8h2 7vnwd nluw9rz au1 robabwjn3pxhq9e7obw p7zgmefd

This command will “print workiyg directo3y” (i.e. fhe curren7 dirqctorw we oreeij1. wtri8oblwoo9d 1ofe4ht54 eib8s

The “cd” here means “change dizectory ank the “..i here mea2s “tke directooy jb5qe”5z

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”aproject. 7ote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
