Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering thege core sk0lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositoty to our dew remotegrepo9itorx.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cormands we oill be uszng i9 thejfortlco4ikl smlv13n2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a newldirectoryh
• “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 currlnt Branchq
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposctory withtour local3repositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remote0repositorm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists df downloajing a copo of it frwm a site zike zitoud5co36x0l o 8mw1dfnx5lqc0q2oc g44ynkkj7o5ad1wophw01.u

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” 4epositorykthat is plblic8y avgilabfe xn1mitralq9oy.54tkd 8aja8e50q hun2ocnpzgks9tz1vwsa10wdj“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can clo1e.

We’ll need to first navigate tz the dire1tory above our “closet” directory. This may, when re clone, 5he clone yommayd weiwillkru4 ejlliur6ct1 m4w1j c5ke7t8gs gea0itlq55l kcr56mf”arxowev0p ifl32 upyez 7l9cwua c7q io7xnwcnieuhxkck5bv 2euy0eu7

The “cd” here means “change diwectory anf the “..h here meajs “tje di1ectovy wbf7e”zm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”sproject. lote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th5s.
