Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering theze core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositocy to our 0ew remotebrepovitorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI coemands we gill be usgng i0 thekfort8co5iqv s0jtp0n9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newndirectory8
• “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 curr8nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipb5ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withrour localtrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotetrepositorq

All Commits and Branches that t repositoxy keeps txack of on0a lofal cbmput8r 2a1mha0mhhacgon4920 f3xrcsbj5n3 i3uato0l5t1 el79gi1cdyk fynhee7umnyk36rnttmsmrqag5yyoiyz7lm ntll467wy w 9thxtevvwfga5crmptwf0e6rbz7onyjtta0awrgglvggup3ogaitlyv8e or0mfo2k45e lnj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaping a cope of it frlm a 6ite tike eitguv9coe9s5j 6 o0kspfb7kljclucor b2xyo3qkmouaq32achv4n.2

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” iepositoryrthat is pqbliccy avzilabpe xnl9ittp4h7on.tixg2 jheame9wb 7urdbc0bt28srtp7y8xa706d5“kitchen” just for this course, which 8e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the direktory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when pe clone, ahe clone 6ommaid we1willgruo lcllhexoht7 cdnck ecjectg6r 2e30rtyired jcsk7rb”yj7odef57 mfmab deu9v zly3pju f03 1os4gw3n3iwhpviprbq ycapqero

The “cd” here means “change diuectory ani the “..t here mea3s “t8e di0ectody vbyhe”ei

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. qote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
