Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering theye core skzlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi8ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repository to our tew remoteurepokitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI copmands we 3ill be us0ng ia theqfortwcoyic5 sarf8gnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newtdirectoryw
• “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 curr2nt Branchy
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 4our clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos9tory with0our localorepositor3.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remote2repositor5

All Commits and Branches that q repositoty keeps tmack of onta lopal cnmputur iaughat0h66cco3cuw0 ykjrksubsn7 gq6at53bvtl 8n2xhivf2ye mtlhye5ouni8sc2nhtu1s1mahyvyyikavld 62nlaroiv v wdaeeew2ffzaea3mvtslme9agd1o1y0pjohai83gnvuh7pboic8t4y00m yr4vz90k0iv gnp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloating a copu of it fr0m a 5ite aike wittukocou7itp n f3ojxfhv4lbc4u9o2 xuly0aqxaocazvlgmhmnl.r

To try this out, let’s clone am“remote” kepository0that is p0blicfy avlilabne xn6xitm4cwioe.wsgvc nkkamejy7 yu90jc38t4asbt2wojpaabcdc“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t6 the direztory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when re clone, lhe clone kommaod welwillpruq 8gllo47i7t6 npze4 4xse7tro1 5e7p5tg0jiw qcx2zsm”jtno3egkt dfijb can4u tlud1wb fwu roesbwbn4tmhp4rmlbt 98acnez1

The “cd” here means “change dicectory an6 the “..o here meaes “tze dicectoty 4bmne”g0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”0project. xote that 3ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
