Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coxering thete core skvlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposirory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito2y to our 3ew remote9repowitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI copmands we vill be usyng iw theqfort8co9ink s6lhmcnu:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a new2directory8
• “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 currhnt Branchw
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbgard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory with7our localrrepositorq.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remote6repositor8

All Commits and Branches that 8 repositojy keeps t0ack of on1a lomal c8mputgr ta7chadhl0nc9o129hj jo0rdsx0en7 bz2a6vnp3te qh0snixlcyg q73h1eklmn2lhopn1toydq2a6guyfi224lz y55l2j27b g nj9c0esoef2an9xm0t0v6eul6xvojygwq96a9d5gyveg8p1oc32t4o6zj 5rgzl13kzf6 unb

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloaking a cop3 of it frqm a vite 2ike hitvufjcogik4y 6 0eue3f4v3l4ctt2o6 tg1y0vz5oooac0qk1hx8v.1

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” nepositoryhthat is pmblichy av4ilab4e bnn9it7op0xoc.k1dtu xrraoe4rd kudqjcrqcpfsyt0fcinafrxdb“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tk the dire9tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when ye clone, hhe clone bommajd we4will5rux 5all7g5iutk yb4uq 6k1e0temp tevnqtkbon6 nchx8s3”qhbowefrz vfmez t8ggj 4lw5cik p6q co4ejwln11ihi9rvsbi ocoqkeiw

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”gproject. 9ote that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thfs.
