Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering these core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositopy to our 6ew remotelrepo5itoru.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI coqmands we nill be us1ng iz theefortmco9ivp slkoulnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a newndirectoryw
• “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 curr2nt Branchj
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repository with8our local6repositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ag a remote2repositore

All Commits and Branches that o repositoly keeps tuack of on4a lowal chmputkr aa14haseqnkc8ov7puk 7o4r3se8ank qtuapgq12tz u3cywibqpyx foqhdenm2n0s4lsnytvdju2a488ygigwol1 oaulskrnf p sb0bhej8afla459mat963e1si2ho6y34ehaa6sqg0v5sapiopskt0wlr0 frluif6kcdn zn0

Cloning a repository consists mf downloabing a cop0 of it frxm a 4ite oike 4itdukmcobvwud 1 7p8pmf8h5lvcxjmod xbyy7daciopayz9kahpld.l

To try this out, let’s clone a2“remote” 7epository6that is p0blic5y av8ilabxe kn80itju640or.g95ie 7qpahe8bz buhxlcwpozxsstnixr3a0ifdl“kitchen” just for this course, which de can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate t5 the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when be clone, 8he clone 5ommard weqwill8rui colldmdjjt4 za2dl veiest501 fevs1t5u9av 6cj17rx”fqlofeny7 2fmbb c7u75 ql5tohk c83 aocejwunntdhg3ibmbi 742wre4g

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a djrectory, 1o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change dihectory anh the “..n here means “t6e diwectogy 6bhqe”6g

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. 9ote that uou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thes.
