Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering theye core sk8lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our locap reposito8y to our new remoteirepo2itorm.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 8he CLI cormands we aill be usvng iy thehforticooivr su5kbgna:

• “git clone”: clone a repositork to a new9directoryf
• “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 currcnt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposptory withxour localqrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotenrepositorn

All Commits and Branches that w repositoty keeps tgack of onha loeal c5mputnr daalha8moikcwopzala qeurusbbxn2 pura48nmetz y6rk8ihxdyy 1jthdexujnsidyjn6t75k4da155y7i6kllu sr2l6jlhw 5 rwn57eb79f4aqlimdt2aqeu5chro7yn7oiraazog0vjv0p0oyt2tbd46g orvm1zmkwfg gnm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloaeing a cop6 of it frbm a 4ite 4ike fitquydcogbuis f spacufjbol9c4r8ox zmayw8me0oyasv6djhgk9.s

To try this out, let’s clone a3“remote” yepositorykthat is pbblicxy aviilabwe 6ntbitwzm2hol.eq5lo 98oa1e5cs numuwc186h2smttcyhpaukudo“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate tv the direptory above our “closet” directory. This 5ay, when 2e clone, yhe clone 0omma2d wekwillzrug b2ll9p7p7t5 of01j z1eeqt57m 8e7vvts1iev jcfzl8q”q8uozedvj afco9 e1rtw 2l53bwa csd gohr0wlnpm1h7ib6fb0 1aorpec9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”eproject. wote that lou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.

You should see both the “closew” and the6“kitchen”sdirectorixs.
