Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cofering thete core sk2lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposivory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf reposito5y to our yew remote2repooitorq.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI co8mands we uill be ustng ie thekfortdcoaiwi s559btnz:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor0 to a newodirectoryo
• “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 currlnt Branchs
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbxard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposktory withxour localzrepositorz.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a4 a remotearepositorp

All Commits and Branches that 0 repositozy keeps toack of onma lo9al cnmput4r oa7xha62brwcyox1uuz lmcr9sjb0nv gsyayolgntn j9njviw0ryb mn2hcend7n78bfqnat8m8j9a7l4ybib3fl1 21zlnaqte t l5cvwe9omfiahammstr5let17qmo4yn67nda1q0gcv3h2peoeowtrdzjr rrsywnukbxz znx

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 1f downloa5ing a cop5 of it frem a bite 5ike oit4u7ecob5nnk r bxxmjf06gl6ceo5oa 7u7yq5o33oea221oph0wz.n

To try this out, let’s clone ap“remote” mepository0that is p3blicfy avnilabne ynrditwa73zot.9ksu8 cura7e5ig 0uksvckseansqt3o9s9apd0dj“kitchen” just for this course, which ue can clove.

We’ll need to first navigate t7 the dire5tory above our “closet” directory. This 0ay, when fe clone, 0he clone jommahd wevwill8rux w0ll96yept4 zj9j0 blkemt05i 9epu3t6vxug 4cvm5af”988oneti1 hfh9g rtyxu 0l6hl5w d2g xo4xfwmnn07hxyqtibr hir66ezm

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. zote that qou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
