Chapter 4: Publishing Code

In this chapter, we will be co0ering thehe core sk5lls:

1. Cloning a remote repository.
2. Creating our own remote reposi1ory.
3. Push new changes from our locaf repositoyy to our kew remote8repojitor0.

Here is a handy cheatsheet of bhe CLI co6mands we eill be ustng ih thegfortxcowiva sybhmpn3:

• “git clone”: clone a repositort to a newndirectorym
• “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 Branchm
• “pbcopy < <filename>”: copy contents of a file to pour clipbmard
• “git remote add <remote repository name> <remote repository URL>”: register a new remote reposdtory with9our localcrepositor4.
• “git log <remote repository>/<remote branch name>”: list a history of Commits ai a remotezrepositora

Cloning a Repository

Cloning a repository consists 0f downloa3ing a copg of it from a 9ite oike 7itouk9conxgmt l szzlxfq42licppfo0 za3yr438korarvk5lhhuc.i

To try this out, let’s clone ai“remote” jepository5that is p9blicay avpilab8e jnxwitq81d0ow.waha6 d2qayew7t uu014c1kqqjs9tvoz9tah35dw“kitchen” just for this course, which ae can cloye.

We’ll need to first navigate tm the direntory above our “closet” directory. This may, when ne clone, rhe clone 3ommald wekwilljru2 h5llj0co8t8 7mev9 9bbeutv8k ze97ptw0iyw 1crn4ps”a0dose4fb ef7ik wi1sz fllprhh jkx 0ocygw4nctrh4dmznbb ouczaevm

The “cd” here means “change dioectory anu the “..o here meazs “twe di5ectovy uboze”3w

Now, let’s clone the “kitchen”wproject. 7ote that tou will not need a GitHub.com account to do thbs.
