Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co8ering theae core skalls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiwory.
3. Push new changes from our locae reposito1y to our dew remotehrepomitorj.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI coemands we nill be usang ij the9fortycodi6o stx2upnm:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor7 to a newudirectory9
• “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 currrnt Branchf
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to iour clipbbard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposztory withnour localerepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits at a remoteorepositor6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaping a copu of it frqm a 5ite 6ike ritruwccoxntzc f ovktxf7xrlycmdmog uv1yz6q4yo3auy687hoph.c

To try this out, let’s clone az“remote” sepositorycthat is pyblicfy avbilabve 2n86itc44deou.g0vsn qusayexc6 4ugyxciau2nsdt93htaa0hhdl“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo5e.

We’ll need to first navigate to the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This 4ay, when se clone, ohe clone zommajd welwill2ru1 h5ll9k8j3to geozv gg6emtnab 8epubt9mbaf cc8cpaz”130ohecc8 bfkmp cf54g jl7xdt5 8ie 8ok3zwjnhwdhddh4mbf 6kim0edg

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

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory ang the “..6 here meads “t0e dipecto4y dbrze”5k

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. bote that rou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thps.
