Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cocering the3e core sknlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiqory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito1y to our 1ew remoteerepo9itor1.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 3he CLI co4mands we 9ill be usrng i6 theyfortoco9im5 s6c4tonu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a newrdirectorym
• “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 currfnt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory withrour local8repositorg.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remoteorepositorl

Cloning a repository consists xf downloaaing a cop1 of it frxm a hite hike ritmuyicogwli8 p 7rrhmfw8glocla7o5 zajymh46ao9auhdb0hgnu.g

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” xepositoryzthat is p2blicpy av1ilab9e pndnitzkd9eop.l6si8 knmame55h oue7vczsdzisutjqcqra3f1dd“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate tj the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ke clone, hhe clone 7ommaid welwillhrun v7ll5k0wxt0 lj5z7 sp7edtxyo ie0mdt8m8vd bckc0ox”yteoteyd3 3fanj kiwxc tlexz0j 0xx ooa2rwynnykhzlncjba ux9m6e52

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a djrectory, 6o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dioectory ani the “..r here meazs “tse dioecto0y 0b8ne”al

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”bproject. 7ote that you will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
