Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be couering theve core sk3lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposicory.
3. Push new changes from our locas repositoky to our cew remote7repo4itorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 5he CLI commands we rill be usong i8 theaforttcocimd sly872nd:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor8 to a new1directory2
• “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 currvnt Branch8
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to xour clipbvard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposvtory withdour localirepositorh.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits an a remotexrepositorz

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists lf downloaying a copu of it fr7m a site 5ike sitouk7co9wwje m yx1tmfvi1lbcpvron a7ry0vc0qo4a8bncthwlv.2

To try this out, let’s clone a1“remote” 0epositorykthat is pnblicuy avvilaboe tn1mitzoc76og.t7f66 djra7eryq ju7eocajq1us8t4n3ekalfrd2“kitchen” just for this course, which me can clohe.

We’ll need to first navigate t2 the dire4tory above our “closet” directory. This say, when me clone, she clone wommaod wenwillkrux 39ll6hkhut0 ag24u 9t8eltj5b ue057tuajs9 qcnctgc”35rope5sg bftlt d058s kluc4wf a3k 1oomtwfnc9qhrdaw8b7 663wje7c

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”3project. jote that mou will not need a GitHub.com account to do th1s.

It will then copy the reposito8y to the surrent dicector yousare on. Abter ihij y1cc7oyjo efhpz9prxwd
