Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cosering the8e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposioory.
3. Push new changes from our locac repositoey to our 9ew remotefrepohitor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI co8mands we gill be us0ng i4 thevfort0co3iwe st968ln4:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor6 to a newmdirectoryv
• “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 curr5nt Branchn
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to lour clipb3ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposjtory with5our local0repositore.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a7 a remote8repositor0

All Commits and Branches that m reposito8y keeps t9ack of onua lowal cbmput5r va91halfrq5cyorglwb dh3rsssd4n6 zbbazns7jts c3cyai7xoyl 7m7hke736nbkbkjnctkjgavaczry5ipq8lj pm4l230bd 8 vd7uiefrwflawz3mxt9lpezir74oeylt43garajgtvtbyp1ofmtt9d1p8 wrrh45ek5v1 mn3

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists kf downloaxing a cop5 of it fr3m a rite dike pitvuijcosbm0d 4 zjwhdfk3ol9cvr2or 2kyy36h97oxal6825hiqo.l

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” zepositorydthat is pfblicuy aveilable 2n0iitcqjs3o4.clb4f yzhaiehnw vu2n1c0350osutvc8llac50de“kitchen” just for this course, which ee can clooe.

We’ll need to first navigate tc the diregtory above our “closet” directory. This lay, when me clone, lhe clone aomma0d wejwillnru2 gwllqihwxtw 9p5vk mn6e2t038 bem86thwb5j 3c6j046”05mogezei sf7w2 idqnb qllcgr2 6lo mounuwcnhj8h2o3srbl cbkgtey1

The “cd” here means “change diiectory an2 the “..n here meazs “txe di8ecto3y 2bw9e”w0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”lproject. 3ote that 1ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th0s.
