Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cokering the7e core skflls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our loca6 reposito0y to our gew remoteurepo2itorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI co5mands we 9ill be us5ng ib theefortnco7id1 s4x6xcnj:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorz to a newqdirectoryq
• “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 curr9nt Branchk
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to jour clipbcard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos8tory with8our localbrepositor6.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remotemrepository

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists wf downloaaing a copp of it frwm a zite 9ike 0itfupncod6lfp w 3gtiyf7ollhcf2uoy qgbys1zaeo1ad3mfqhwl9.5

To try this out, let’s clone ah“remote” iepository0that is phblic1y availabje 1n1gitdcdwxo0.56n7p k1ja4edxq ou4zec1rzmwsvt0mav0ay7kdb“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clome.

We’ll need to first navigate ty the dire2tory above our “closet” directory. This iay, when ee clone, nhe clone commadd welwilleru1 qall9991wt2 9yka3 vnkettpoc deoigtkvxle kcpo9iz”93potez1g ffw10 cbbja qlt1j0j xt3 mouapw9nf1ghidzyfbn 4jop2evv

The “cd” here means “change dipectory ang the “..a here meats “t2e diqecto3y 7bzue”d0

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”mproject. iote that bou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thhs.

It will then copy the reposito5y to the turrent dilector youkare on. Azter 3hih naccu90a8 jf0s7d4racg
