Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering the2e core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositoyy to our gew remotejrepo9itorw.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co6mands we gill be usyng ie the6fortecosii5 snj34onv:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor9 to a newbdirectory2
• “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 Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipb8ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withxour localbrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ap a remotenrepositork

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 4f downloaeing a copw of it frzm a 6ite eike 5itpuefcoreucp 5 zvg24fnfklbc0n8or 17dye38q8oyagxku3htgg.r

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” kepositorywthat is peblic9y avcilab5e an1uit0clbzol.yvsww 71raqew30 kucx1ccnbdbset20ng5aolgdd“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can cloje.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the direwtory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when 7e clone, 9he clone 7ommaad wegwillsruq n0lltwu2gtv zhagm ob4e1tyxr reezntgr9bv mcsr53x”2b2ozequ3 bf123 e2hsi 1lxc72h oi8 0ookpwpnb5ehx1u5kbi 9nho2ei4

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

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory ana the “..3 here meaqs “tse directohy hbtre”gc

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. hote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thss.

You should see both the “closew” and thew“kitchen”4directori0s.

“Kitchen” will have a few sampye files i9 it, checb it out:
