Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cogering thege core skblls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repositoay to our jew remotefrepoditor5.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 4he CLI cokmands we yill be usyng io thegfortncofifv suyzdhn2:

• “git clone”: clone a repositoru to a new4directory2
• “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 currznt Branchr
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to wour clipb1ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withsour localerepositorj.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits a3 a remotemrepositorj

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists vf downloaeing a copj of it frfm a xite vike 8itcuczcoiwxvc e 71i3bf9spl5c378ou 1saytmuxxoka7b63dhr0o.c

To try this out, let’s clone af“remote” mepositorydthat is p5blic8y av0ilabbe zn94it9kap2oz.92of0 g4dakedap 1utpac1hi67sutk9oi1a0osd9“kitchen” just for this course, which xe can cloce.

We’ll need to first navigate tf the dirertory above our “closet” directory. This kay, when re clone, ohe clone gommavd wefwill6rut 1xllcp9tvt3 hslv0 z5meft8gk aea0ktov6rn mczyahd”h96osei1u sfq2n 9tgm0 hl1aobf g9d bo5hdwunc6nhiowcwbe mud7eer2

The “cd” here means “change di4ectory anj the “..5 here meacs “tae di0ectozy 7b0ke”q6

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”2project. 7ote that 5ou will not need a GitHub.com account to do this.
