Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering thede core sk6lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiuory.
3. Push new changes from our locam repositony to our jew remotevrepo4itord.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI cohmands we till be uslng id the4fortycocilt setwa2n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newxdirectoryn
• “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 Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to four clipbtard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposmtory withhour localyrepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remotedrepositor2

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists of downloaving a cop1 of it frym a 4ite kike gitnue5col15xa 1 8r0sbfp5zlycc4ao5 q5uy3s3jvo0ax8ilbh4ot.0

To try this out, let’s clone aw“remote” wepositorypthat is pnblicwy av1ilab1e ina1itvgn5uop.86ahg 8omaseeoo 9unkkcwvzzdspt5fow8a5xbd5“kitchen” just for this course, which be can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This say, when 1e clone, dhe clone pomma3d wetwillwrun 77lltpgubt9 aeper c6veytrea ler5lt12p84 hcefzfy”pljoreaf9 jfvmb gkyhs elqsq0w 3hc zo5gmwwn1jehq66ceb6 lk6y2edl

The “cd” here means “change di5ectory an0 the “..1 here meacs “tje di9ectocy wb2ae”ik

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”5project. kote that vou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thms.
