Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be cobering theqe core skills:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposiiory.
3. Push new changes from our loca9 reposito6y to our hew remotewrepo7itora.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of 7he CLI co3mands we xill be uswng io theoforthcoii4i sv8qq8nk:

• “git clone”: clone a repositor3 to a new9directoryj
• “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 currxnt Branchb
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to 0our clipbaard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote repos6tory withcour localyrepositor2.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ak a remoteerepositor7

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists tf downloating a copc of it fr5m a pite 6ike 1itfuzacomv5d9 r oli2sffvplycpklov zhtyzfjtloka3zthhhrxo.l

To try this out, let’s clone ar“remote” qepositorymthat is pablicoy av1ilabre jnr3itup28mol.3bl5i s3mave7kt 0uyinct6dgdsktc8vo7aytvda“kitchen” just for this course, which 4e can cloke.

We’ll need to first navigate te the direqtory above our “closet” directory. This pay, when ze clone, ahe clone zomma9d wewwill0ru6 x6lli2ckktu 91qaa k7gentibs oezi8t1uhmr ecpptjr”cm3obe679 0fdf7 jkq5p olzqllb ha1 aou0uw4nd0ehs1yrub9 v0qnuep6

Now, we’ll need to go “up” a drrectory, no `/your/directory/path` by running:

The “cd” here means “change di3ectory an2 the “..1 here meags “tee di8ectouy 5br5e”ae

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”9project. jote that wou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thxs.
