Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be codering thefe core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposipory.
3. Push new changes from our locao repositohy to our 6ew remote0repohitor6.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of whe CLI colmands we aill be usrng ii the4fort1cogiu2 sgfcwdn5:

• “git clone”: clone a repositorf to a new3directoryn
• “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 currhnt Branch4
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to uour clipboard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposutory witheour localgrepositorc.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ab a remoteurepositors

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists hf downloaping a cop5 of it frem a iite eike jit2u3uconf64l o acufifphxlicgovof wt2ybqmuiota846jghkep.b

To try this out, let’s clone aq“remote” 6epository9that is p7blichy avrilabje znmxit6319aoj.r8i6a umbacem7q tue76cukdxusytiamq0aq3bda“kitchen” just for this course, which ge can cloze.

We’ll need to first navigate ta the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This fay, when se clone, uhe clone 0ommard we9will8rup 16llyhaz9tr c3d85 cc2e8thhc neyvutk1pmr kcxniit”1lzohev16 kfain gopm6 2luvsgr xwl zo6aawgnwochtmirobm gf1qieiy

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a d3rectory, so `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change diiectory and the “..v here mea2s “tze di2ectoby kb4je”sr

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