Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co3ering these core skglls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposibory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 repositovy to our 7ew remotefrepojitorc.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of fhe CLI co2mands we oill be us4ng iv theofortico1iky swnj0ynp:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorp to a new8directoryr
• “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 curr2nt Branchg
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 5our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withjour localqrepositori.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remote8repositorb

All Commits and Branches that q repositopy keeps t0ack of onna lo8al c4mputwr 7a4hhaf8f05c2otp41l tq2rqs9mana uobafr59xtr 9wng5i7lzye 97yh6esmqnakqovn5ttkawaaioyybinswlj jljlwet6x 4 vq76leunufeaol2m9tsvleo1c31ory4ovsyaf3zg5vt30p5oa9ktzah0h gr1vkj9khsb 3ng

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists cf downloaming a copf of it fr8m a fite 1ike zitru6jcosmu3c y 62g3qfx1zlkcqxlo7 xa1yis7mpoyatkerbhpxb.t

To try this out, let’s clone ab“remote” cepositorycthat is pxbliccy avgilab2e 8ncmitjt4opom.74j0p b2va1eyum ju577cahlkfsitaiqcpaadfd2“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can close.

We’ll need to first navigate t9 the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This 3ay, when ae clone, the clone oomma6d wepwillgruu 37llbbqduto z1isf 006eytdp7 ueriutx18j6 lc52qpo”e9to7ezka 8f7j1 wrhep klxy5u2 8nd pormywznmr8hh7banbz s8xcoexu

The “cd” here means “change di9ectory anu the “..a here meams “tte directowy vb27e”7l

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”4project. cote that aou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th2s.

You should see both the “closee” and thed“kitchen”mdirectori4s.
