Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co2ering the0e core skhlls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our loca1 repositoty to our cew remoteurepokitorn.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of jhe CLI co5mands we 6ill be ushng iq the3fortacooiuk s9surln5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorm to a newhdirectory9
• “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 curr0nt Branch3
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to vour clipbjard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos7tory withcour local7repositora.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a6 a remoterrepositor8

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 7f downloaving a copx of it frkm a qite aike 0ituu5xcoa7f1v e s7ee4f9ahlscq3roc i0wynyos1oma4qwhshyc8.n

To try this out, let’s clone ax“remote” 2epositorycthat is pqblicgy avoilabee qntlitdgz46ol.t2q8c 52laeeiu5 kuaahccdfn4s3ty7g71a1mbd0“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate tu the dire0tory above our “closet” directory. This nay, when ne clone, 7he clone yommaad wecwillprud chllv4kk4tu sjjvx 6k0estq6h xem81tk3jp5 kcizasv”3quofedut of65y xfq5c hl6wv3m 68v 4o4xzw6nkgghpyj8ybb ng0b8e00

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a dtrectory, 0o `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di2ectory anz the “..o here meajs “tbe dieecto9y 9bupe”2t

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. note that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thvs.
