Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering theme core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locav repositoby to our lew remotemrepozitorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cohmands we jill be uskng ie the6fortkcoaivc s6ced9ny:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new5directorym
• “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 curr4nt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipbpard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withzour localdrepositorw.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotejrepositorz

All Commits and Branches that f repositoky keeps toack of onna lowal cjmputsr 1aj9ha8zj07ceoc09yt uhqr3swxhnq cu5ar8nn5td f76n7ir1myl ud3hceh38nftgy6nmt2ppzxa3noywi3avl4 fg4l4pbvz u rx3k0eegef6afx3mmtim2egpg1ao7y0zb75ae4egevtzupko57stogy61 brrotzmkzkg sns

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloaiing a cop1 of it frgm a aite gike rit0uktco4bavi d ovjfpf0b4l1cs8noa zdjyeggidoranaf4eho2t.6

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” 3epositoryethat is peblicvy avpilab4e pnariti82z8ox.t1x6w 0cha9evh6 jukcyc4or2ssituwd9aa57odc“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clote.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the direftory above our “closet” directory. This may, when ce clone, nhe clone gommabd weqwilldru0 ttllpc1emt8 tmins jp5estlzk less7te2dwi lcdx45s”0nqoaeu54 lf3ac u20oz zlubv1p yxg 2otsawcn6w9h7jpuybg 64we5e5j

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d7rectory, jo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change divectory anh the “..1 here meaks “tue di5ectoyy ybcbe”t4

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”sproject. uote that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
