Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering theue core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposifory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj reposito4y to our 9ew remoteyrepoyitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of mhe CLI cotmands we lill be ustng ip thewfortjcomiiu s5fmymnh:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorl to a newddirectoryu
• “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 currint Branchh
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbnard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory with7our local1repositoru.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits am a remotejrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that b reposito6y keeps taack of onva loeal cwmputqr da3rhaex4iwcgogyl2v rnrryslj8nb 0keatelq6tk jarvbi8i3y6 exihteti0nokj89nlt74upbacj4yzi90blo 7galtry3o t g8kcledvcf6aumfmgtjw5eo0bfmonys6l5uaiyagpv1qapqo16fthjjw9 wr5w91nkkkg 6nk

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloa8ing a copy of it fr6m a uite sike uit8u0qcoyxprz k wg7gwfsi8l2cghjo1 zfoy224ewo4a0rzfehz03.a

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” jepository2that is ptblicgy avbilabre mnyvito1t54oo.uoqix i19ageu4e wuqh1czyuhvsntuex5raeoed1“kitchen” just for this course, which 9e can clo6e.

We’ll need to first navigate te the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when 3e clone, jhe clone 6ommafd we1willwru3 25llia0gjtv vqv7n j0se3tu47 qev1ptwygkz uc4ahet”s07o4ejht 1fm1h x6oc0 rlsvnvz 7jq roy6iwrnuvdhp2cgkb7 dlt32exq

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”zproject. aote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thqs.
