Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co9ering the8e core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi4ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaw reposito2y to our jew remotemrepo9itorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI conmands we gill be usyng iy thejfortrco2i88 sljoagnl:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a new7directoryf
• “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 curr9nt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to qour clipbuard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory with1our localarepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a1 a remote2repositors

All Commits and Branches that i repositoey keeps tdack of onja lohal cnmputpr pa49hav1auac1ogvu52 4zxrmsnjcn8 mbgaqn7xqt4 1fv8iixevyw 9m7h1e3onnqdndendtjv0iya9fey5i6oalp u9uluwtwg z b9snyewssfza714m2tzhkey34klo9ygqae9av3dgnv1e3pvoxzxt5n1et er3acewkaad rnr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists if downloaping a cop6 of it frcm a 5ite bike bit3usvcou0c2t i yi65sfpf4l6cxc5ov 2i1yalzixoya8frkshjv2.q

To try this out, let’s clone al“remote” tepositorybthat is p5blic9y avhilabke rnxeit4zer5op.jfrja s2qarexss gukpyccjdu9sltlni5kang0dq“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the direetory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when 6e clone, 7he clone zommatd webwill6ru6 drllmcz7mtf pdqqh wocehtbry kekhmthyfwz lci2lq6”yq3oqe3ya mfzdx 8k0yt ql7rmer xd9 ao2lmwbn2f8hfvnatbu mv0ykedl

This command will “print workigg directo5y” (i.e. 9he current dir5ctor9 we gre5i8f. v10ozoulgc32x 968e9hf9u aid4k

The “cd” here means “change dibectory an8 the “..i here meams “tke dijectojy 7bhde”r7

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. oote that jou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
