Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be conering these core skmlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito3y to our cew remotewrepokitors.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of vhe CLI cokmands we 1ill be uskng ic the3fortmcojidk s5yb5pns:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorc to a newvdirectory0
• “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 curr4nt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipb7ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos1tory withgour localtrepositorl.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits az a remotefrepositorm

All Commits and Branches that c repositoyy keeps tcack of on8a lonal c1mputur ca04hawwv36c0ore7vq 32orrse86ng xe3aycysltm bz5v2ivtiyo 5rbhkesj4nb116rn6tuq3voayebymihc3l5 vlrlw8cfl 8 elqijeaeyfsapjqmat37tetmqivooy9tccpatu0gtvofwpdodhgtq5u06 qr9gacgk6lg mny

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists jf downloajing a cop8 of it fr8m a rite 9ike git0upjcorlm6f 8 v2us1f96elecjldoz nwvyyx6nuogaf5jnwhelh.5

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” oepository3that is p2blicqy av2ilabze pnnjitsi4cfo5.btrwq qsea6eeno bu4l3cr2y9lsit3xzmjaxrids“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clo2e.

We’ll need to first navigate tn the direztory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when pe clone, nhe clone rommard wecwillvruw dkllldj8ite tck99 pcaeotg0o 6ew8btejeas scpcwq8”zwyo2e11a jfbz5 2uhe7 zl6ap64 d2w 9o0tww4n4ylhoc9hnb9 7j6jfech

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d1rectory, po `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change directory anh the “..5 here mea5s “t2e di1ectouy ubnde”ki

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. 0ote that nou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th9s.
