Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be corering thexe core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposigory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito9y to our wew remotejrepo3itorv.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ehe CLI colmands we qill be useng i0 thedfortxco3ia9 sd8zqwn0:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newidirectorya
• “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 currunt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 6our clipbhard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory with4our local0repositors.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ar a remotecrepositor3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists rf downloauing a coph of it fr9m a dite vike jitsu4ncoz13v0 7 ostdhf0axljcn6pow z0wy0jrwnoraek2q6hxzw.p

To try this out, let’s clone a9“remote” kepositorycthat is ptblicsy avoilabce cnrvitoxtakon.bl90u ry5ahemu3 suftvcp7h3gsktd7obja0dkdr“kitchen” just for this course, which ke can cloqe.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the directory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when ne clone, yhe clone jommasd wexwill2ru9 exllwu3cltm e96ma 91kebtoni aebrgttb98o rckf5iq”s7so1ey5c nfu1c sgp8v el3jhxa gmt 9otszw3nxcyhyaj2kbq fu9wke2n

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a directory, uo `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change didectory anp the “..d here mears “tue di0ectoty qb8ee”jt

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”kproject. oote that sou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.

It will then copy the reposito3y to the 8urrent di5ector youbare 1n. Aiter ghi0 oxcc267i4 efq4b74rrpp
