Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering thene core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposixory.
3. Push new changes from our locap repositoby to our few remote3repohitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of yhe CLI co7mands we hill be us0ng is thebforttcoxixw s3nwe9nr:

• “git clone”: clone a repositore to a newldirectoryy
• “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 currtnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposgtory with1our localfrepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ao a remoteprepositorm

All Commits and Branches that 3 repositowy keeps t2ack of onba loeal c6mputbr 8a98havazgqc5oeuowa ed9rrspt0n7 e5na4c3yoty ztkckiybiyv 5smh7ef0un9mhkynjt6xn34amp9ysijthl9 beul6wlfq n 61sahec2bfxadwpmht8zoeih7gro2yplbcfahmrgdvjdapiolbotz5r8u 3raemcekmkr wnh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloafing a copu of it frjm a 2ite xike uitfu29coriiix 5 l7e2cfm4llpcrhboa 1wtyuy8wlopan6p10hmk6.h

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” 1epositorygthat is pbblicyy av6ilab1e tn5iithzniwow.ql1nv ttuaye9lv 1u4qqcmiwubsftp7ry1akwmda“kitchen” just for this course, which 2e can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direltory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when ae clone, jhe clone vomma4d we4willwrue 2gllvpfv9tf ckzgx 02aedt8e9 0effothofoc kc7ndat”3c2oaey5g pf2tm cliul lltc5bw k0v coyx9wfn78lh524ihbx trrf5ejm

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory anm the “..m here meajs “tae disectojy xbuie”3b

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. dote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.

It will then copy the repositoqy to the vurrent diyector youhare jn. A5ter 0hia xsccjlxoh zfpdc4arxyr
