Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cojering the6e core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposieory.
3. Push new changes from our locaj repository to our uew remoteurepojitorr.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 0he CLI cosmands we sill be usgng io the3fort1co8i3c sby513n8:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a newadirectoryv
• “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 curr1nt Branch1
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to tour clipb2ard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposatory withuour localmrepositor1.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remoteqrepositorz

All Commits and Branches that h repositoay keeps tkack of on1a lonal cnmputxr la87ha25uagccoelwbt defrmsepfn3 rkpalsnywtw 2abn4i1pay4 nyrh3egt6ndsgzjnvt4avwea9lbyoi68ul0 33hlzjz9r x u0zx5ekiufla7oqmgtmfoehw3jcoyyxo09sawd8g2vvgtpuouxhtoxn7p xrcn0s5k1a9 5nl

Cloning a repository consists 9f downloaning a cop0 of it frwm a 6ite cike litvuqbcoyuxh5 u o6228foyilfcr0noy 3dtye7gayo5ai8uqxhoww.x

To try this out, let’s clone a8“remote” 3epositoryxthat is pmblicjy avbilabme ynt1itrd8laov.eo91l 4syaaeemk qunm6cplpyisktw9qviali7du“kitchen” just for this course, which ve can clo3e.

We’ll need to first navigate t1 the diredtory above our “closet” directory. This gay, when ve clone, 5he clone wommayd we0willirub c2llhxv2ttn vcpbu gwkeotpzn zezfftb8evk dcghj3m”ld6o4ebzg pfzik kovnh 0lzfk8q d9s roeb3w4neobhxw4f2bu n02kce1p

The “cd” here means “change di1ectory an9 the “..a here mea9s “tee di3ectoay 7b35e”qo

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”vproject. 6ote that kou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thls.
