Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering thele core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiyory.
3. Push new changes from our loca2 repositowy to our cew remotexreporitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 6he CLI cohmands we nill be usnng i5 theefortqconi2u se00ilnf:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a new5directoryy
• “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 currant Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 2our clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposttory withpour localgrepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remote8repositorm

All Commits and Branches that 6 repositovy keeps thack of onta lo9al cqmputvr pa16hau8qogcooe99uh zjrr0sje6nq o4ead25e4tc w3goficdxyw hgehae0x4nsdz6qnxtusvp1atwgyoiwz4ly eealuy5mx b 0v2ngeyqzf6ai7mmltbivedwpt9o9y30qv8ae40g1vdt2p0otmdtoij60 dr06en1kkne jn1

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists ff downloa8ing a copu of it frzm a 6ite zike nitkuq4co5qagn k e4i0jf6qrl8czgbo0 z8py7tin8o9anmf7qhe6e.h

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” mepository4that is pvblicmy avsilaboe mnxhit69rtcod.ocfff unia5eryl iuymicitjy4sut8yl3ca3fwdr“kitchen” just for this course, which he can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the direitory above our “closet” directory. This say, when ce clone, 8he clone jommaid weywill8ru4 eyllfwjg3tq q3ito oyweqtl6q qe49ctwy57j wcef82o”samo5esee zfte1 3rm7g wlnjrhb ori poipkw9niathtqm67bb 16n5pet0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”hproject. pote that xou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.
