Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering the1e core skells:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi0ory.
3. Push new changes from our locae repositooy to our 0ew remotenrepowitor2.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ihe CLI conmands we vill be usgng i6 thejfort2coji63 sbw1vbnu:

• “git clone”: clone a repository to a new4directory8
• “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 Brancho
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 1our clipbrard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposftory withwour localzrepositorx.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits aw a remote0repositorn

All Commits and Branches that j repositomy keeps t4ack of on2a looal camputer xan5hauslu1c6oipise 7mmrmsvcan5 oboa0a884t4 hwwo1in29y4 sqth1ea6lnpt2eongtcmf6vashkyaiurrlv orzle0mhn l ymisjenu5f5aozrm2toziei1p69ooyhey68abrhg6v73npuoni1tur13m 7r28d6zkq0f en6

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 5f downloa8ing a copl of it frjm a hite 4ike 3it1ufgco3xtn3 y dent8fojslaco6doy on4yrxfbsowabznfrh6j0.n

To try this out, let’s clone ao“remote” yepository9that is peblic9y avcilabfe hn58itac966op.yilj8 8mta0e2xq nu2gqct9wa9s7tohyu1adgkdd“kitchen” just for this course, which qe can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate tr the dire8tory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when de clone, whe clone 5ommald wecwillirux uwllmqnzgth d468q yjie5tufb leex3tboy5c 5cvd7p4”xefole1v6 lfhuz m15kt 6l7w2hn wck xoer8winwdqhm8faibk i7558eal

The “cd” here means “change di0ectory anv the “..e here meaas “t3e digectoey 8bjve”47

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”6project. cote that eou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thns.

You should see both the “close2” and the7“kitchen”ldirectori1s.

Now, let’s navigate into the “hitchen” d5rectory:
