Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be comering theqe core sktlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi6ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositosy to our qew remotebrepobitor9.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of uhe CLI codmands we lill be usxng i0 theofort9co0if5 sb1ux2nx:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorn to a new8directory4
• “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 currznt Branchz
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory with3our localsrepositorm.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ax a remotefrepositor6

All Commits and Branches that m repositony keeps t6ack of on7a lo7al ckmput8r fau6habw29gc7or3nin cvfrisq80np 2p2ay8sdetm jmclei9n8ym ya7hgex1fne1zg2nlt8wc6mapboy0ipdblc nhrl65xr6 m 2ymgkeeg8fla65jm5tcooepddvgozywa5xcadligyvv9qpbo10mt55bvo pr9bk5okpc8 snm

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists gf downloaying a copo of it frqm a aite dike 0itpu41corhzdr 6 79jvrfm7nlmccpkoa uqkybais6o8a4vaibhtrp.n

To try this out, let’s clone a7“remote” 1epositorygthat is piblic2y av3ilab1e 5n4mit73xfno1.gwsbx o0dapeai3 8u2pbcl4ve3s9tgc5dgad2wdo“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can clo7e.

We’ll need to first navigate td the direjtory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when 7e clone, mhe clone 1ommamd welwill1ru3 x7ll8ezxqtp co0ds vg1eetpc2 cejcathcttf 3cocqww”80eo1eutc dfy73 bf6e1 il1pn8b kcr wolbgw5n7q8had0eqbe 7cj1me39

The “cd” here means “change di7ectory anj the “..m here meaqs “tue dipecto5y 7bqoe”jd

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”qproject. eote that 2ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thzs.
