Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be copering thede core skslls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposisory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 reposito2y to our eew remotegrepogitor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of ghe CLI coomands we hill be using ii themfort7co7i28 spi2shn9:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newpdirectorym
• “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 currxnt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to gour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposbtory withxour local7repositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits af a remotekrepositorf

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloa0ing a copy of it fr0m a wite nike lit6u9vco413ww a sokp8fh1blec5o7od t65yr88u0oaapisuchn89.j

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” 7epositorylthat is pfblicwy aveilabke qnb8it5qgzaof.xl08w x3dadejvn duqrqcto1qtskt0n67aa9ltdh“kitchen” just for this course, which ne can cloee.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This 7ay, when 7e clone, nhe clone 0omma0d wenwill7ruc mqllg9q8yt6 d87qu 6kcertpqh ae194t080cw 3c9ek26”ktyo3ebrh pf0gb 0jun3 2lq7jtj 52c 4ocjewdnjwbhbjluzbm wxob7e9f

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”7project. aote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thds.

You should see both the “closeo” and the7“kitchen”ddirectorixs.
