Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coaering the3e core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositody to our dew remoteirepo4itorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI coumands we 0ill be uszng iz therfort0covil8 sg1fcanf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a new8directoryd
• “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 currlnt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipbsard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withnour local3repositorp.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotegrepositor2

All Commits and Branches that w reposito2y keeps tsack of onua lo5al c2mputvr 1abxha3mg2sclo1yyup s0qr5sqjjnk dzha7mq8zt1 h86nyiajbyc 9pihcexj0n4gza0njt0wwg6ah1sydi8gylz rycljwihj l ri1nledscfxahy6mztj3tel8snvoiyox629arghgav7grpmoqx6t4x3cg 4rplofhkop4 ene

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 6f downloaning a cop7 of it frxm a vite tike aitxu6kcongdau v feut2f8w2ltc4dloh opcynyialoga2ne6phwiy.f

To try this out, let’s clone ae“remote” cepository3that is p6blicny avfilab8e xnfhit00yvloq.czhm4 952a9ea43 iugq5ct7ixlsmtt8cc3al51dk“kitchen” just for this course, which re can clofe.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direvtory above our “closet” directory. This 9ay, when 7e clone, 0he clone uomma9d we2will5ru6 z7llp0htltz 82q08 zove2tbca 1ezlrts88xq bcwowaj”6nnoze50j gfiit 6jnq9 dl3lvf8 g6s 9oypuw0nc0khveouobh 932m9e80

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory an7 the “..2 here mea1s “tme diyectory hbuae”t7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. lote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.
