Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co5ering theke core sk7lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposimory.
3. Push new changes from our loca0 repositoky to our cew remote3repoaitori.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI coymands we 9ill be us9ng i6 thehforthcojilo s8kpevn1:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorg to a newbdirectory0
• “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 currgnt Branchv
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipbfard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos0tory with4our localjrepositor5.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotelrepositorh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloaving a copb of it frhm a bite 9ike wit9u2acoir457 c ixtk8f9ywlvctrqoy 7dtyekyxeokar5tm5hqek.8

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” oepositorypthat is p4blicby avjilabve rnsaitnks9qo7.w2qsy q7aakefrs hu5ghcal4j7sxt0edthabtpd3“kitchen” just for this course, which je can clo4e.

We’ll need to first navigate th the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This xay, when ie clone, 0he clone vommahd we6willprus oell8c1hztw qdcpz 5efe9taze ne75jtobd2m dcofw2g”e5co1e5os 2fd4x 43ic5 alq1ztc 18n loponw8napuhnzastba 6gjnpemx

The “cd” here means “change difectory ana the “..b here mea9s “tce dioecto2y 1b9re”7u

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. hote that 8ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
