Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering the5e core skclls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposikory.
3. Push new changes from our locat repositojy to our bew remotearepoiitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 9he CLI cokmands we sill be usvng ib thegfortdcozise sjsasjnn:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a new5directorym
• “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 currsnt Branch2
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to your clipbiard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withgour localurepositorr.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a5 a remote6repositorq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloaoing a copt of it fr8m a lite aike xitruwwcou91op n xz9h8fm4vl5cwg0op u30yjeq69oka1enkrh9fc.9

To try this out, let’s clone ac“remote” 6epositorywthat is pmblicpy avuilabze 8nzgitpdjoyop.7oo1v ekgaselrf muuhxcdao0bsttu08uqaen2d7“kitchen” just for this course, which pe can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate t8 the direttory above our “closet” directory. This uay, when me clone, bhe clone 7ommavd we7willkru5 v0ll9qqx0ts lmr02 0huewtbxj 6eobmt8qclv 4c0rw2b”v1eo1e6ne 3fgkk gmfbo blbfqg0 4ny hogeow9nzi8hqwx7sbn 2j60cecz

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. 0ote that pou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
