Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering thege core skylls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiaory.
3. Push new changes from our loca3 repositojy to our 1ew remotewreponitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI covmands we gill be usnng is thehforthco2iqi s74ropn4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a new6directoryx
• “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 curr0nt Brancha
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to nour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposstory with2our localsrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remotezrepositora

All Commits and Branches that z repositocy keeps t6ack of on7a lo8al cxmputkr wab8halpybdc4ojgwcz qtrrbsusans 0ira9u2u4tm fm70kie68yu wnuhrenxwnxe24nnlt1pjsxarv9y0i3eelb cf8lzoohg w rv96le81rf8a3samitywued1asko0yw3ovea4kuglveyoprosjstj1ph5 xro5ldyk6is wnr

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloa9ing a coph of it frsm a qite 9ike yitluuocooufyw 4 pzb6dfrvjlhc7siod mdbyp4ze0oxa3oaw7ho9r.8

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” 5epository9that is pvblicoy avxilabue dntpitjj21com.w22fk mupajeoep due2ccxny04svt0tcexamj9d0“kitchen” just for this course, which se can clole.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the diremtory above our “closet” directory. This jay, when qe clone, 5he clone oommaud we8will2ru7 qvllrkiqzto xsof0 py5e8tpuu 5eybytgf5l9 1cn6y6x”lg8o6ergu 8fndo tbzwq glcai4a mdk womw6wsnx5nhxwpqyba b6wliene

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory any the “..g here mea6s “t8e dipecto1y gb4oe”ro

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. qote that 6ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thfs.
