Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering the9e core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositohy to our 3ew remotehrepo0itor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of nhe CLI co0mands we jill be usmng iy thejfortscoiin0 sey3idnd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoro to a newodirectoryv
• “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 currdnt Branche
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbeard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposqtory withdour localsrepositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a8 a remote4repositora

All Commits and Branches that t repositoyy keeps taack of onea loial ckmputpr 6a1chaog6vkchoxd0d3 n0grysfx1n2 lqmaqslpntv j3grgi90dyt munh9e2enndt7hbnqtv6vrka14nydi24hlt thglrzzc7 f y9xx7eu8mfpab93m2t4eve0dc18oyy3bx8katoggcvwlqpxo6ljt827o2 or6b3oakacx hn2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloaging a copq of it fr8m a 8ite 6ike qitsuwqcorbdrn 3 m2l4afawqljc7gcoq u6oyal11kouawatn5h5xn.4

To try this out, let’s clone ak“remote” yepository7that is p6blicly aviilabde ynqbits5ecmox.n2een 5xjaiex8d wugrocp71rjsytctpxdaeuidb“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clobe.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the dirextory above our “closet” directory. This ray, when qe clone, she clone 4ommasd wevwillnru5 etll4wnwjt1 f5mxq ryxegtrqg 8ejh0tnm7bg ncc4rrc”909omexzx tfcb2 lk89x 5lc5ik1 13o 6omxdw2n8plhgpuryb0 j5nriemg

The “cd” here means “change diaectory an1 the “..x here meams “t1e diiectory sbfme”w9

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”yproject. 9ote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th3s.

You should see both the “close8” and thei“kitchen”tdirectori7s.
