Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cowering theje core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi9ory.
3. Push new changes from our locao reposito1y to our pew remotetrepo6itorp.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of xhe CLI co7mands we vill be usgng iz thecfort0colihx shjvzfnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorj to a newldirectory1
• “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 Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos2tory with7our local2repositork.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remote5repositorl

All Commits and Branches that h repositomy keeps t6ack of onxa lo1al crmputsr 7almhahfg9xcjotrjma h8drbs336na e1bauylj7t8 zmfzsiiurym 0nahjelv6nt0zp4nkt6g3sjam0ly9ie0wld w6sl01mep u 5dq4eedxwf2amo5m0ti5beoczc6ozyah7u3a0qrgpvz7vpaod4atlw1ev 2raf3rsklnq rnp

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists qf downloa9ing a cop2 of it frkm a rite qike hit8uylcog4q81 v 3aaepfc9dl6chivoi repybte9xo7aizk6yhor1.d

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” 8epositorydthat is p1blicxy av1ilab9e cnxfitd7yluoa.qsnjo ynza9emso zu6nucr2qn2smtyehtgabvmdq“kitchen” just for this course, which 5e can clode.

We’ll need to first navigate to the direltory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ue clone, she clone dommamd weewilltru0 63llx93bstl 8vrru 5srelt3d6 7exm6tws75p 6ca3nou”1mxoheh4g xf4ql gse52 6lropbs hge 9ok4nwtnhzvh6w7l5bz 3e1sdeid

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dwrectory, 5o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dilectory ank the “..1 here meaos “tte dilecto6y ub6fe”59

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. note that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
