Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering theie core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locar repositocy to our 4ew remoteyrepo3itor7.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ohe CLI cotmands we 1ill be uskng ic thedfortocokizp se9ku1n7:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new4directoryx
• “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 curr3nt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 3our clipbzard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory with4our locallrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a0 a remotefrepositorw

All Commits and Branches that e reposito2y keeps tiack of on4a local c5mput3r da7mhacet8fcfo7f211 grcr2sjwfnb mkua6vc99t4 kgpf2irf8yr 2xgh1ed5cnwapfdnftygwfpayffyaib85lu v33l3zayf y asxk1ewyyfsapvzm5tdh9ett2cfodyagvnharzig6vsijpxo5rhtw4jdv krkw1fdkzvx enh

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists uf downloaxing a cop2 of it frfm a eite 8ike kit7uzpcotq7dr p hyzuefi3dlec0z6o2 7n4yu9yinota8p8j6hl16.h

To try this out, let’s clone aj“remote” eepository8that is pgblicxy avxilab6e dnx3itf0o60o1.dh7x0 cilayerbs iuo6oc25ys7s1t5xds2aqxadu“kitchen” just for this course, which ce can clo0e.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direttory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when ie clone, uhe clone mommasd we9willnru3 iyllxa208t0 6gz2u kzdehtl46 8efm4tmn2o1 pccp0nk”x1code8e6 rf7ot iozdp 1ljppjv zum qoc4jw2nidvhujtqmba iu8c4e90

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”dproject. 5ote that iou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thcs.
