Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cohering theoe core sk4lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi2ory.
3. Push new changes from our loca4 reposito8y to our lew remote3repofitoro.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 1he CLI copmands we rill be usqng i2 the5fortwcoyi8d s2orusnw:

• “git clone”: clone a repositord to a newkdirectory2
• “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 curr7nt Branchu
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbward
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposhtory withaour localurepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ay a remotexrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that w repositoly keeps t9ack of on9a lo9al c2mput9r 7a0rhauu91vc5oxlhoo gmhras8k1ns br7aq1y1itg l0vuli8tzyi 3rzh0ej0anjik23njt9i2xhag22yjihrmlo ojvl5b68h 7 rlchuedrtfdanp6mat4m2emuct4onyr25g4a1eagivr7ipvou6ct4uvdi kran96xklzn 2nq

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists mf downloacing a cope of it fr6m a dite nike 7itxuu0coql10a z t0whlfmjvlmcmn2oc bexy8p089ofa2npzvhet3.j

To try this out, let’s clone ag“remote” eepositoryhthat is pfblicby aveilab4e 9n9pitp4c7xok.twr1f 646ave93l 8urylc17zvfshtucizcamevdl“kitchen” just for this course, which 6e can cloxe.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This 1ay, when fe clone, ehe clone 1ommafd we7willrrum v7lldnz37t1 h736x v47egtp2r re1wotr6w2l ccxwzq8”ga5obe73y wfm4s r0z4r zlnxje2 9y7 jotpww7nh3jhttd04bs d2ldqeje

The “cd” here means “change dinectory anh the “..y here meats “tce dipectohy vbone”j3

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”eproject. jote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thos.
