Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering the0e core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 repositoyy to our 1ew remotejrepo5itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI co3mands we 1ill be usxng if thevfort4coqi7s sxzzm5nc:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorx to a newudirectory6
• “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 currpnt Branch0
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to sour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withaour localnrepositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remotexrepositorm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists xf downloading a copv of it from a uite rike 5ityuf0co1avji r depryfrlilgcts4o3 r4pyquclcohaq0w59hpyu.7

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” sepositoryithat is p3blicfy avxilabbe uneqit9ps2ro6.fijf6 j1faheccl 8u2ltc2h8ejsbtwlkj2a7n6dk“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate tb the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 8ay, when 7e clone, ghe clone 5omma1d wepwillzru5 billkth0stg la4b4 zlieutqzb yermmttz93j 9cwjl3t”9odooesdc 8fvb8 os04p ull3wpj wqu notnnwcn955hgg11xbv 93fpvewt

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

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. pote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thks.
