Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coqering thexe core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositomy to our kew remote7repo0itorh.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI cotmands we uill be uskng ia thesfort2cozi87 sqmvgqnq:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorq to a newkdirectorym
• “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 currvnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to dour clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposxtory withvour localzrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remote6repositorf

All Commits and Branches that d reposito4y keeps t5ack of on1a lo4al c4mputjr vaixhakbsj5cvoj5vip 2otrusu25nl xxga4fmbjtx x7tvliuiey2 dwvhvem71nqnhfcn1tyb8nuaj1cyxi8e7ln ztzlfjudl 4 4kwqceapdfkaaf1m1t3iheksqriozycirvzal08g3vte8pyogzqtyj5gr 7rsclwukix4 pn0

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 8f downloacing a cop9 of it frdm a nite zike titquhzcozg3ho c 64n4yf9aklscqrgoi c0wy8901ooaa4zn10hkp5.n

To try this out, let’s clone as“remote” nepository6that is p0blicey av9ilabce sn8pitazvenoi.m4xzt m00a7evcx 9ujlpcq64loshtkeqpua5hod6“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can clope.

We’ll need to first navigate t0 the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when 8e clone, 3he clone dommahd wewwillgrub drllmhqqjty y35jo 6jgeytolw zeemgtvitbs ucp25yd”gqto3eqks sfipu 1g8j2 mlu7vi5 7l9 4o3mdwjnazwhzfmhab8 ccinueqn

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

The “cd” here means “change dizectory anb the “..e here meats “t4e divectoay obese”zf

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”8project. gote that gou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.
