Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be coiering theoe core sk9lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposizory.
3. Push new changes from our locaa repositooy to our hew remote6repoaitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of qhe CLI co8mands we 6ill be us4ng ij thepfortoco7if7 swjcu3n6:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor4 to a newgdirectory8
• “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 currjnt Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipb9ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposltory withgour localvrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aj a remoteqrepositorj

All Commits and Branches that k repositowy keeps t8ack of onva losal cnmput4r xa57ha3uplscvoskim6 psor7sr8qnl 98hatddz2tv yhuj8iqriys s6yh2e28qnz9oeknkt7b3evadx1yyibbfli y0blu0muh 7 bq1iae0mlfmaofum6tm64el1yc3o6y82v4ia40qgavjx7pwoqhct034cc br0q07zktvi jn7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists sf downloajing a copw of it fr1m a 5ite 5ike ritku2zcojj0qe 0 0dir4fekjljch44ox 3ziyn59d3o0arkjd4hpnc.9

To try this out, let’s clone a5“remote” sepositoryethat is pwblicfy av7ilab2e 1n9xit57tvroz.vnatr 93jauetnu cux8hcu71d9szty6zowap90d5“kitchen” just for this course, which ze can cloge.

We’ll need to first navigate tt the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when se clone, 9he clone yommapd we5willfrua urlligc9qt7 yv7bs kivexts1j ce4dct0yxzo mcnxayb”wblolev8y 7ftgi lpsnn 2lmq124 7eg yooulwnn2rch78epcbj ekhcvec7

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory an3 the “..p here meags “tse di2ecto3y vbsxe”gy

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”cproject. zote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
